You could fill your car up with dryer sheets, It would eliminate the static and deodorize at the same time.

It's actually funny that you mentioned this ,I have also noticed getting shocked quite a bit lately and was almost considering getting some of those oldschool ground strips that hang under your car. Static can really do some damage to electronics such as your phone, laptop, games etc.

You could try getting a grounding kit.

winter is always worse.. thats why your mom always uses dryer sheets in the winter and hardly at all in the summer. at least thats what i noticed in the 20yrs living at home with my mom..

summer i never notice any shocking when i take my clothes out of the dryer... winter i hate getting in and out of my car and getting clothes out of the dryer!!!

We need to figure out a way to collect the static energy and turn the yaris into a the worlds first hybrid electric that runs off of it's own wasted static electricity!

i was having this problem for a while... it stopped all by itself after a while.

that would be cool

There's a couple things you need to remember ...

- Winter time is always dryer so shock is more prone to happen when getting out of any car.
- Shock depends on what clothes/coat your wearing.

I have this problem more when I have my wool coat on. Suck it up and take it like a man lol.

I have a grounding kit, it doesnt help the static shock.

No problems in the summertime though.

the only thing that has ever helped me this is grabbing ahold of the body panel like the door frame and holding onto it while i got out.......

at work whenever i got out of the van i also got shocked, this cured it.....

i too get shocked...

x2 on suck it up

hhcchen · 01-29-2007, 08:04 PM

your ass generates static electricity by rubbing the seat while you are driving...
if you get out of the car without releasing the electricity from you ass,
you get shock by touching anything metal while the electricity tries to release itself...
what i've been doing,
touch the metal part of the car while getting out before my ass take off the seat... once my ass takes off, the electricity immediately goes into the metal part of the car without shocking...
so... remember, touch the car (with your fingers) before you get out...
ps... hold the metal part all the time until you are totally standing outside of the car...

Blenjar · 01-29-2007, 09:29 PM

Okay I'll give that a shot..thx

You can make one of your own by looking at the DIY section or you could take a look at ebay.com
