As far as the bug thing. It's the color of the car. My SWP WRX attracts more bugs than any other car I've owned. There was a topic about when SWP came out in 07 for the WRX and STi.

Try touching the ground with your hand after you open the door but before you get out.
That will earth the static without giving you a shock and when you get out and touch the door you wont be the conduit for the car to earth itself as you were before. Works for me.

I get the bejesus shocked out of me every time I come out of the car and make contact with the metal keyhole as I shut the door.
