before you get out, ground yourself by holding onto part of the car's metal frame e.g. door, door jam, something practical then exit your vehicle WHILE YOU'RE HOLDING ONTO whatever metal portion of the car it is you found. it'll naturally start discharging any static electricity you generate as you move. there's no guarantee it'll work 100% of the time. remember, you generate electricity from your movements against things so you may discharge that electricity but then let go at the end and you're just still rubbing up against the seat fabric, which ever and still get shocked once you touch metal again.

i'm long winded on this i know but, didn't they teach you this in school?

yea they do teach me that in school but I was curios to see why this was happening. I drive my moms Ford Focus and my girlfriends cavalier and my friends 350Z and it never happens to me with there rides only with my corolla. I know alot of factors come in to play with diffrent cars but I mean is it common in old corollas>?
