Shocking ride...

Well i dont know how to say this but everytime I get out of my corolla (AE92) and go to close my door, I always end up some how generating static electricty and shocking myself after my drive. Any way of solving this prolbem besides wearing gloves while driving. lol

they sell a little thing on ebay that is a jdm static grounder for your car. they stick down and drag on the ground to keep your whole car grounded so you don't get shocked. i saw a little honda running around with one here. i'll post it when i find it again.

LOL no i dont even have a raido in there.

But yea its like even just to take it out for a small criuse like down to the store (3 min away) and as soon as I open the door and put my hand on the roof of the car ZAPPP I even get to see a small little spark. It happens all the time! I cant seem to figure out whats going on here. Anyone got a clue

I know it sounds funny but I even tried running a wire bolted to my chassis and letting it hang one the bottom to see if it worked and belive me I got even a bigger ZAP. Im clurless to whats going on.

Well i might just buy new seats cause thats my best bet cause i looked on ebay and a pair shipped is like 375.00 so I might just go that route. But if it still happens then dude....IM DONE!@ WAIT!!! I JUST THOUGHT OF IT WHAT IF I HAVE SUPER POWERS? LIKE TO CONTROL ELECTRICTY.. :D
