No problem. you just need about 4 or 5 feet of wire. One side gets connected to the chassis, and you need to strip about 3 or 4 inches of the insulation off the other end. When you go to get out of the car, just hold the end of the wire you just stripped.



what? I thought it was funny. (ughdance)

Happens with my car too. I don't mind so much since I'm used to it now.

Problem is with unsuspecting passengers...

Just hold onto the body of the car as you step out, that solves the problem.

Used to happen to me, when the car was new. It will go away as the fabric gets a little older. My car is almost 5 years old though

I got some wet okole seat covers and it happens no longer. I think it's the faux suede fabric that does it. So: quick, easy solution is seat covers.

get in the habit of holding onto the car frame as you get out. I usually grab the metal above the driver window. BEFORE moving off the seat. No shocks for me!

BAHAHAHA I have passengers getting shocked all the time, but since i got the Turbo Timer it hasn't been happening as much. Don't see why it still wouldn't work. But yeah I hold onto the roof right before i get out as well i made it a habit but i make sure to NEVER tell the passengers, It's too funny.

I'm pretty sure at a gas station it's happened before, and not just once.

You can fix this in these 9 easy steps!

1. Open door
2. Place right hand on door jam (above where the window would be were the door closed
3. Place left hand on door jam just in front of the rear door hinge
(hands are reversed if coming out of passneger side)
4. Place Left foot on ground.
5. Swing ass around
6. Place right foot on ground.
(feet are reversed if coming out of passenger side)
7. With hands and feet in place, haul your ass out of the car
(NOTE! If hands and feet are not in place, please contact physician.)
8. Close door
9. Complete exit. If you wish, you may take a bow, or pat yourself on the back.

Feel free to duck tape these instructions to the steering wheel, or the dash in front of the passenger's seat. The windshield in front of you is not a suitable location for taping instructions as it may obstruct vison of road (and traffic) ahead.
