i agree. just dont touch the car until you get out and get a good ground.

i dont know, im in florida and its pretty humid here, but i still get a good shock if i grab the a pillar to get out.

i used to get shocked in my 7G but it was do to where my amp and cap were grounded. after i changed the grounding to somewhere else it has never happend since

You must have cloth seats...lol.

I think weather plays a part in it too. Mine only shocks me when it's cold out. During the summer, I don't have that problem...

humidity causes the static elec.

it doesn't matter where it is grounded because it is always going to be grounded to the chasis in one way shape or form.

why would i do that? it grounds me as i generate the static electricity. or in other words, i don't get shocked.

[Rusty]

i thought you were saying thats what caused you to get shocked. my bad.

Back in the days people use to drive with a piece of string or some shit hanging out of their doors, but any other person would just ground themselves when getting out of the car. Do not try this while at the pump tho or you might be in for a rude surprise :twisted:
