[VAL] Re: Powerstroke - static shock

  According to the guys from Car Talk on NPR, a major cause of static shock is
tires.  Has to do, I think, with the carbon content of the rubber.

  Their recommendation is to get new tires, or to buy a grounding strap that
hangs from the undercarriage and drags on the road.  I remember them from my
youth, but haven't seen one in years.

  Seemed plausible to me.  I have a 2000 Yukon XL that is wicked.
