4/5 times my frs would shock me. Arggg its very annoying but I learn to live with it. I would discharge it by allowing it to shock my feet instead of my arms. Through the pants + skin on the legs are less sensitive

The best way to earth the charge is to simply touch your hand to the ground as you get out. You wont feel anything and wont get zapped when you shut the door.

I get zapped by the FR-S on and off, but always by my parents xB and when I am in the office. Can't escape it unless I grab the hand sanitizer and do "surgery prep" before touching anything metal.

I touch my leg to the rocker panel while I am getting out. Otherwise, that shock hurts...
