this is the most stupid post ever... but every time, im not even kidding! every single time i get out of my car, and i close my door, i get shocked. Its from all the rubbing of the carpet i do when i hit the cluth and release it.... im gonna start closing the door with my butt

 

okay just to make it clear.. im not moving my foot completely back and forth scraping the floor and stuff....

 

Happens to me... and allot of other people it would seem. There is another post like this one already about regular Lancers, but I suppose it would apply to Evos too.

yeah its been happening to me for a while... i was gonna post something like this but i havent had the chance lately

 

During winter times, you will encounter getting shock when you get in or out of your car. I found a solution to this which was very effective. I bought a static shock remover at Super Autobacs 3 months ago for $12 and it connects to any metal parts under the rear bumper so it will hang and touch the ground. It is made of rubber outside and soft metal inside. Ever since I got it, I never got static shock. I hope this help for some who got shock.

 

about 98% of the time i get out of my car i get zapped!!! its ridiculous!! haha

 

just grab onto the doorframe before u put your foot on the ground

 

Holy ****, I was going to post that exact same question! My car just shocked the hell out of me about ten minutes ago and it does it all of the time!

 

just ground yourself before you step out

 

how much horsepower does that thing give?

i find i get shocked with this one shirt i wear, so it must be materials rubbing on the seat.

 

There are two solutions without spending money......First is like what Vanilla said, grab the door frame before your feet touches the ground and second just close the door pushing on the window.......(That leaves finger prints though).............

 

i get shocked and i have rubber floor mats and its only when im wearing jeans i think it must be the seats

 

Happens to my front passenger most of the time and me some of the time.

 

I find if I wear wool or my down jacket I get zapped.. Otherwise its rare.. HOWEVER, it happens to me in every car I've driven through the winter.. I suspect its the type of clothing I end up wearing this time of the year.. Same reason I get zapped on carpet at home, which is immensely fun to occasionally zap my dog and watch him jump 3' in the air. (Note Sarcasm, Its not done intentionally!)

 

yeah theres a huge thread on the lancer forum about it, seemed comical when i read it. than the next time i got outta my car it shocked the **** outta me!! i was angry with the car and i wanted to kick it..so i kicked my cheap-o ES hubcaps tha tlook like *** lol.

yeah touch the frame than the ground is wut most ppl did or that strip running from the car to the ground, i saw it on an eclipse and laughed and wondered wut the hell it was lol
