Hang a ground strap under the car to bleed off the charge.

My 06 has never shocked me but everything else always seems to, especially my work station. I touched the wall divider, it shocked me, and and then when I reached for something on the deck as my arm was reaching over a small desk fan, the fan turned itself on.

My headphones shock me. My keyboard shocks me. My mouse shocks me. The door shocks me.

My car is nice to me.

I'm the same way. And my cloth 05 shocks me too. not as bad as some cars though. I've been shocked 5 times in the leg in quick succession getting out of a coworker's Pilot. Then I got shocked when I went to shut the door. And again when I grabbed the building's door handle. And again when I brushed against my cube walls (cloth covered, mind you) as I was about to sit down.

During the winter months I get shocked probably 20 or so times a day. It gets so bad I have to make sure I've touched something metal recently when I go to kiss my wife. I've even been shocked through my leather jacket. I'm just glad I had the padding that time, that one really would have hurt.
