Does anyone get shocked when they get out of their car?

Actually if you are getting shocked it means you ARE properly grounded. What happens (especially in winter when the air is dry) is electrons(charge) build up on things, like your clothes, hair, etc. When there is an excess of electrons built up and you touch the metal in your car you are completing a path for these electrons to flow through, ie electrical current. Since the metal on your car is grounded, the electrons will flow from the excess to the ground. This is why you are getting shocked.

I've always been getting shocked coming out of the G. Since our doors are heavy and they close with the slightest of touches, I've gotten used to closing the door with my right forearm or elbow. As I step out I press my arm on top of the window and give it a slight nudge. Glass is a poor conductor so this most always prevents any shocks.
If you get shocked it doesn't hurt because you don't have as many nerve endings on your arm compared to your finger tips.
