I used to get it all the time and then it disappeared for ages, its just came back recently! Take it like a man!

[jay dh]

haha, it doesnt hurt, its just annoying, and girls who go in the car keep moaning which is a pain haha

Very true mate, I refuse to have the daft rubber strips hanging aswell, I just learn to put up with it and touch the door before anyone else does!

[jay dh]

hmm, shudnt have to tho, my dads yaris doesnt give static shocks

Its awful when it happens - I appear to be highly charged - I give everyone shocks at work!

I've found wearing heels helps...... not that I'm suggesting you guys go out and buy a nice pair of Jimmy Choos..... although it may help!

yeah ive only noticed it on my yaris sr. it dont hurt, just very annoying.

This has been posted several times before and it is usually associated with the dryer weather and wearing of synthetic clothing.

Answer?......................................drive in the nude with the windows up ;)

Not a nice thought! :o

I get shocked a fair few times.... my flabby man !Removed! take the brunt of it!!

[kanarnthan]

i hav a feeling its 2 do with the shoes you wear.... like if they have thick rubber soles....i only ever get it when i wear those shoes.

hav a feeling its something 2 do with you not being earthed if you wear those, but then when u touch the car you become earth earthed.....POW!! u get a shock...well thats not really the sound it makes.

More like a crack or zip!:)

What like with a nice dance or a serenade?

My dad used to have to touch the ground when he got out of his car before he touched the door to close it, that worked for some reason. Try that, you're right, you shouldnt have to but that might work until you sort the problem.
