The SO's vehicle ('93 Mazda 626) has a anti-static strip inside the door
handle so when you get out you touch the strip and voila'...no shock. Don't
know where you would get one for "Vicky" perhaps a computer/electronics
store?

Subject: Off Topic -- Static Electricity
OK, I know this is off topic, but....
The BarcaLounger on Wheels ('86 Ford Crown Vickie) has developed some
shocking behavioral problems, literally.
Over the last couple of months (as the weather gets drier), I develop a
charge of what I assume is static electricity which discharges when I get
out and put my hand on the door (grounding myself). This occurs whether
it was a short or long drive (five minutes to an hour or longer), but
doesn't happen during damp weather.
I'm a little tired of getting zapped, but have never ran into this
problem before. Does anyone have any suggestions?
