Rep Power: 0 hahaha thats funny, i thought it was just me. I just reach around and push the door closed by touching the paint only. I don't get shocked anymore though cuz it got warmer, I think it was just the cold weather.

Rep Power: 0 lol..... ground straps.
Rubber does not ground all the electricity.....
if u put a rubber strap and u hold ur door w/it and close it, u won't get shocked because rubber doesn't conduct electricity and that's y u won't get shocked.[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 The Nissan I had before my Honda did it all the time but it stopped since Ive had the Honda. My friends focus is really bad. I got out of his car one time and it shocked me on the nipple. That didnt feel good and it got hard like it was cold.
Has anyone ever seen the arch in the dark? Kinda cool.

Rep Power: 0 Sometimes I get shocked but not all the time. But it shocks my girlfriend when she get out of the car. hehe She's like "I love your car, it's awesome! But it keeps shocking me!". It shocks her when she gets out and closes the door, if she'd let me close the door for her she would get shocked all the time. hehe

Rep Power: 0 i think we have discussed this subject before but anyways i heard someone say to keep something metallic....something like a metallic fork so
when you are about to exit your car touch the fork and then get out then the shocks would stop.

Anyway to all others - just close your door with your shoulder or something else and not your hand...or, try the key thingy that was mentioned above.
