We usually only notice static electricity in the winter when the air is very dry. During the summer, the air is more humid. The water in the air helps electrons move off you more quickly, so you can not build up as big a static charge. "
Oh, I know about all that.... this aint my first car, and I nver been shocked this bad before.... its starting to hurt...
So what your saying in the summer it should get better?
I was just wondering if anyone else was having the same problem...?? thanks for the help...
