Don't know if it's the weather or me(hands are pretty dry at this weather) or my type R seats. It's really cold here. Everytime I get out my car and try to close the door or touch the car, I get shock. What should I do?

Every Honda I've driven or ridden in with cloth seats was a static bomb


[edit] I think both feet on the ground before touching the door will do it, I can't remember [/edit]

Like a ************.

Nothing you can do.

 

what can I do to get rid of the static? and don't tell me to hang a rubber tail .. in the rear bumper

 

Leather seats will help some.

 

close the door gently with ur foot

 

Grounding yourself or the car is the only way. And you'd need a metal tail, not rubber. You already have plenty of rubber touching the ground

 

Happens to me all the time. But only during the winter season. Never happens to me during any other season for some reason.

 

I get around it doing this.: Before beginning to get out of the car, open the door and touch the outside metal of the door and hold it while you get out of the car. When completely out of the car then you'll be static free. then you can stop contact with the metal of the door and shut the door normally without using your foot to shut the door like I use to do all the time.

Just touch your finger to the screw in the armrest handle of the door when you get out.

 

Spray liberally over entire body.

 

shut the door by the window you cant get shocked through the glass

 

There hasn't been a day yet since I've owned the R, that I haven't been shocked every time I get out and touch the door to close it.

R static

 

oh yeah!!!! mine shocks the **** out of me!!!!!!

 

My Mercedes doesn't ever shock me, but the ITR sure as hell makes up for it!

 

lol

 

hahaha, are you serious?

 

Do what i do, drive naked! j/k

 

oh yeah, i get shocked every single time...

 

haha I was going to post something like this the other day, but I forgot.

Marc ---> who gets shocked every day

 

Happens to me during winter only. I heard that using lotion on ure hands should eliminate static.

 

for like a last 2 weeks ive been gettin shocked like a mother ******...they kinda hurt..the sad part is i forger about it everytime i get out

 

In my integra you can see the arc from the spark. hurts like **** but kinda funny when you don't tell freinds.

 

I personally like getting zapped.
