i get that all the time.. but be careful cuss it can be dangerous when you get out at times and have that static and pump gas it can ignite catch on fire... check this out

YouTube - Static Discharge

 

All I do is make sure after I open the door, to have my hand on top of the door(where there is metal) and then step out. When you put your foot on the ground, it grounds you and static will appear.

 

allllllllllllllllllllll the time

 

I don't mind it much, I had my prelude for years and it was the same way, after a couple of shocks a day for years I don't really notice it anymore lol.

 

It has turned cool and dry here in Florida so my FIT is now zapping the heck out of me. Like most have said it's a pretty good zap! Life with fabric seats.

 

C'mon guys! Shock therapy is good for you!

 

I'll try this. Makes sense and it should work. Touch metal while stepping out vs. stepping out all the way the coming back to touch the car.

 

i kinda like the static shock cuss when my girl and i get in my car i kiss her before we go anywhere its a shocking kiss =P LMAO!

 

dude i hate that, it always makes my lips itch afterward hahaha. my GF hates my car because of that.

 

I just realized that my 09 Fit has NEVER shocked me, but my 07 always did!

Could it be because now I have the rubber all-season mats? (the other car had the carpet mats).

 

LMAO! yah she feels the same way too but its like a thing that we laugh about now lmao! =) you know what i mean =) now you know that static shock is good at times =P

 

Easy, solved this last summer. When exiting the car, open the door, place a hand on any metal part of the door area and keep it there, feet to the ground and butt off seat....let go of the metal door area. Every now and then I forget....electroman is reborn. I await a gas station blow-up any day.

The air around Calgary is dry, this is also a cause of the static. I have a humidifier in my condo, this does help.

 

tried and it works! right before leaving the car i don't move off the seat, i touch the metal part of the door and then i slide myself out. no shock!! :-D awesome!

 

glad it helps

 

It does help. I just have to remember to do it everytime I get out now. +repped.

 

Got shocked like 5 times today... I'll never learn.

 

dude. This just started hapening to me recently. The first time i got shocked was earlier this week, and it was a HUGE shock. Almost crapped myself. LOL!

 

I think of it as my car giving me a kiss every time I leave it.

 

hahaha, i've dropped shit (no pun intended ) because of my Fit shocking me.
it feels more like a, "you better not drive any other cars" warning to me

 

hahaha. actually it may be because of my new floor mats. I didnt have floor mats before, and my gf bought me the oem carpet ones for christmas. The fabric on the mats feel really rough and abrasive. That just might be it. LOL. But no joke, its like a full on shock, not a tingle or anything. LOL!
