shocking developments with my cx5

I think this person, among others, would offer a differing opinion. Skip forward to just before the 1 minute mark:

One of the biggest things mythbusters proves with all their tests is there are a million variables for every event and you can't make them the same for any test.

I remember seeing part of where they were trying to get the cellphone to create a spark and laughed because the early reasons I heard for why they said not to use them while at the pump was if you slip and drop the phone and the battery popped loose while in the middle of a call it would create a quick spark. A long shot but still more likely than some mysterious static spark jumping from it in normal use like they were looking for.

That's right, I recall now. A cell phone could not cause a fire in their test, but I think they did mention that the bigger issue was a spark jumping from a person to the pump.

I touch the door frame as I move off the seat if I start getting shocks from the car. Assuming the air will be dry enough this summer

If the shocking gets too annoying you can try this static strap https://www.amazon.com (commissions earned) . Not the most fashionable of course. I wonder if a wristwatch with a metal back would act the same way.
