I've pretty much had weathertech floor mats since day one and there was a period when I get shocked every time I got out of the car. It did that for a few months but now it almost never happens...

YES I have this problem. And they are powerful shocks!

OK, lets add some fuel to the fire. I get shocked every time I get out of the car, unless I hold onto the metal of the door before I step out and set foot on the ground. If I do this i'm OK, until I walk to the motorhome we're living in, touch the metal door handle on it and get Zapped! All the wile the wife never gets shocked when she gets out. I'm stumped.

Different shoes, different way of walking. I can't walk through a mall with out getting zapped by everything I touch but my wife is immune.

Yeah, but Lunatic is even older than us. Maybe he's just dry and crusty. I'm already starting to do that old-fart shuffle when I get up in the morning.
