Go to Walmart.  Buy heavy duty ground strap.  Bolt one end to body of
vehicle.  Attach other end to a body piercing (ear, nose, etc.).  Now you
can safely leave the vehicle without getting that nasty shock.  Of course
you need to remember to unhook yourself from the grounding strap after your
egress or you will be in for another shock of the non-electric type.  Is it
Friday yet?

Thanks,
