Remember everyone (it seemed) had those static strips that dragged under the back bumper on the ground? You don't see them out here much anymore... I suppose BC is not too bad for that, instead of dry air and static, we get mad rain.

My Dakota R/Ts were bad for that, depending on the type of shoe being worn though it seemed. When you get out, keep a hand on the door while you touch the ground and keep it on there to close the door. The constant contact will prevent the shock.

I remember the ridiculous looking static straps that were popular out here in the mid-90s that a certain ethnicity loved to outfit their cars with. Had a triangle reflector on the strap. That came and passed thank goodness.

Hey, ask Dukk how his experience with static electricity was 2 weeks ago in Canadian Tire It was most entertaining to watch.

 

I get that when I touch my door too.

But not on any other vehicle but the van.

I thought maybe it had something to do with the system being grounded to the body, but what the hell do I know?

 

Or maybe it's a Chrysler thing [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

 

I drive a plastic car...Must be it. I get it year 'round though.

make sure you ground yourself before filling up, , at least thats what some told me was the reason for those ground strips o the cars, some women blew up or something from static igniting the gas as she filled. oh well
