Both feet are on the ground before I even touch the handle. I though dipping the handles would help but I can't go through with it just to avoid a small zap. I used to valet and most cars, it rarely occurred. The Z seems to enjoy causing me pain!

Your shoes are an insulator (doesn't pass a charge easy), bare skin would need to touch the ground. Love hurts, right.

It's the synthetic materials used in the car. Some cars are really bad - my Cecilia was the same, and some are not - wife's Edge.

There are many anti-static/anti-cling products available that may help if the charge is being built up when you slide around in the seat. If the charge is because of air rushing across the car body, I don't see a good solution, but I'm no expert.
