static electricity
First time logged on site. Just picked up GT 03. Every time I get out and shut the door I get shocked! I've heard of the refueling bit but this is really ridiculous, every time. The cruiser is a midnight blue and the interior is black. does anyone have any ideas about getting rid of the static?
BTW this is actually one of the best sites I've ever been to!!

SPRAY A LITTLE FABRIC SOFTENER ON THE SEATS.

Welcome, Bluzcruz.
Usually that's a winter problem when humidity is way low. Truckers dangle a chain down from the frame for that reason. The fabric softener or "cling free" should help a lot.

Welcome Bluzcruz,
My wife told me they have anti-static sprays you can buy. The name is Static Guard, Kmart sells it.

it is possible that you could have a short somewhere. Are the shocks consistent strength or do they vary in strength?
get a ground strap and see if it helps. it is a rubber strip that goes under the car and touches the ground. The old cars used to have them hanging off the rear bumper.

Static Guard on the seats help, but the ground strap will work better.. The static guard wears off..

I have read stories and seen them on television about folks getting back into their cars when refueling. then going back to the fuel nozzle touching it and creating a spark igniting the gas vapors.
Lets be carfull out there

Welcome to the forum.
 I have the same problem when my girlfriend rides with me, she complains about getting shocked from the door. Yet I never do. I would try the fabric softner.
