Re: Static shock

["Fred Munro" <munrof@isys.ca>]

This is normal for most cars, particularly those with fabric seats. I always
ground myself by grabbing the roof gutter trim as I get out of the car - no
shocks this way.
    Some tire manufacturers have made their tire compounds more conductive
to reduce this problem - these tires are fitted to some high end luxoboats.
Might increase the chance of a lightning strike, though :o)
