Thanks to all who replied. It "sparked" a little research on my part :) Loads of information on static safety and handling. Some tidbits: 35oo volts is the point you achieve arch and can feel it. A "good" shock is about 10,000 volts (here, grab this coil wire!) Although we think of tires as insulators they due contain some carbon black which is also used in armature brushes. Man-made textiles (cloth seats williamf!) and plastics generate the most static. Leather the least. Companies sell ankle and wrist straps so you can ground yourself (37 cheif) as well as ionic disapators. Scariest was the video of a lady who got in her car while refueling, got back out and ignited the vapor at the filler with static (PEI say's "NEVER sit in your vehicle when refueling!") I knew JDknut was on the right track with the chain (somehow I remember those, didn't they chew up the roads like studded tires?) I am going to attach two pcs of multi-strand copper wire behind my front mud flaps and let it drag. Happy Static-free New Year to you all!
