[electrical] I keep having a 'shocking' experience...

[mcfly67@qwest.net (Ken)]

I have experianced this in my other car.  I have thought of this counter
measure as well, but IIRC as I would be touching something like the door
frame as I slid out (generating static between my pants and the seat fabric)
I would still get zapped apparently as the charge was just enough to jump
from my dry skin to the painted metal.  In short, it still hurt and scared
the chicken soup out of me.  Like it allways does.  Now that I think of it,
after reading a later post RE: tires and tire cleaner, I dont think I have
experienced this since I got new tires on that car.  Hmmm
