Static shock when changing gear

[FlipTrac_511]

I've noticed that sometimes, under certain humidity and weather conditions, my right hand will get a static shock just as I am shifting the gear selector from park. The pinky will feel it but it's mild enough not to be annoying. Just weird. Anybody else have this happen to them?

Dont have that problem shifting out of park, but every time I get out of my ST, I get shocked when i shut the door.

I have cloth seats and get it when I get out. I have been trying to touch the door with my elbow first, after I get out, before my fingers..:huh:

This is only a minor inconvenience, unless it occurs while refueling your car. There is a video at the link below that shows what happens. This story is from 10 days ago, in Minnesota.

Yupper, Nelson. The cold weather her in PA (has been in the 30s and 40s up until yesterday) has people doing stupid things again, like refueling their car when its running and hoping in and out of the car to stay warm while refueling.



Dump...even though there are signs all over the pumps that tell you not to do it.
