How will they ever learn if you do it for them?

 

Tap your key on the door when you get out of the car. It creates a ground and it gets rid of the shock.

 

I'm in a good mood and I'm tired of seeing the "why can't you just help us instead of telling us to search" bs...

I really meant to say "If ya don't know how to Google it, then donate, bishes".

 

My Sentra had cloth seats and shocked me all the time, so I know what you're talking about, but my Maxima has never shocked me. I don't know if it has something to do with my leather interior.

Yeah i get it real bad but I figured it had something to do with this climate here in Alaska, I get shocked in the house, getting out the car, everywhere and not just me, my friends too!! **** me off sometimes cause I never expect itand it hurt like hell. It has me scared to touch my car.

 

Happens all the time. Every once in a while, when I'm REALLY hard up, I'll touch my nether regions to my car before I get in just for cheap thrills.

Serioulsy, it's a problem for almost every car in the winter, but, I'll admit, seems to be worse for the max.

 

sorry i didn't search but that really didn't sound like something that would happen to more people. i really am surprised. but thanks for the info. kinda sucks. maybe i will just tap my ***** and see where it takes us

 

the static shock gets annoying and frustrating at times. I remember getting shocked after touching a friggin tree after getting out of my car. Last time I checked wood doesn't conduct electricity

 

the last time my fiance checked my wood.... I really need to

 

Wood doesn't, but the fluids being transported within the living wood of a tree conduct electricity. That's why trees get struck by lightning even though wood is a lousy conductor.

Human bodies are lousy conductors too. We're actually strong resistors, but the fluids within us make decent conductors.

sweet. Learning something new everyday

 

It happened to me only when I wore wool in the winter time. Specifically, if I wore my wool-lined leather gloves. I learned to shut the door by pushing on the window. But then when I had to open the gate (since I garage the car)...ZAP! And the trippiest thing is that my driveway is dark as sin, so I can see the bolt of static just pop when the key makes contact with the keyhole/door ****.

*shivers*

 

i get that too

 

Wow jjj, could you get any more post whorin going on?

 

I know how to avoid being shocked, and I've learned to do this everytime I get out, I just touch the outside metal part of the door before getting out and its fine. Anyone see cars with like rubber things hanging underneath cars they are called static-discharge strips. Buy them at any auto store. They use that to discharge the automobile. Damn things have to be replaced often though because they wear out fast.

Some one said Maxima's are worse than other cars well our tires are low profile so there's your answer.

 

I noticed I started getting shocked a lot when the weather warmed up. Sometimes I get the really big ones that crack as you get shocked. Yea I can never help but to say @#ck when it happens.

 

I get shocked really badly on the doorknob at work, its so bad even when i smack the doorknob first, i still get an almost painful shock...never on the car tho
