mitsubishi sells a kit now to prevent the shocks. It is an accessory for all lancers and is a little pad that gets fitted on the drivers door. You just touch it befor you get out of the car.

Also, touch the door frame BEFORE setting a foot on the ground. If you don't let go of the frame, you won't get a shock.

coldness + dry weather = shock..water is actually an insulator soi that's why u dont get shocked as much in other seasons..
but i have to say this but dont get offended, there's at least 10 threads about this..

WATER IS NOT NOR HAS IT EVER BEEN AN INSULATOR!
Water is a cunductor, therefore it helps to disperse electrostic energy. That is why you do not get zapped on rainy days. The car does not store the energy then discharge itself through you because the rain ( a conductor ) disperses it as it builds up.

Result? Perfect insulator, no conductivity at all.
No, don't take my word for it! Try it yourself!

Common water that you run into like tap water, rain, etc has enough impurities and issues that it can and will quite easily conduct electricity.
Sorry.. had to correct you.
and this getting a shock thing in our cars and others has been covered about a half dozen times or better already...
