    well, every time i park and jump out my taco, i get the lil electrical shock, like when u rub ur feet on carpet then touch someone lol. ive seen this topic talked on here a while ago, but i cant find the thread. :(

    so if anyone can post a link to where it is, or as a explanation on why this happens, that would be great.

    i dunno if i hav some sorta electrical issue or sumthin or if its the weather, or my taco just likes to bite back now, lol. Its never really happend before untill i moved out here to Victorville.

    It's because of the seat material. Leather seats don't do this, but they suck IMO.
