Ok, There putting strips on the bottom of Target and Wal-Mart shopping carts
to keep static down when a customer grabs the handle. So why wouldn't this
work well on a vehicle? Thanks, Bruce KD4BOH.

Hey, ya drag your feet on the carpet .. aren't you thus 'connected' ??
Shockingly, no. <g>
Interesting that this would come up... Last year, before installing a
whole house furnace humidifier, I got zapped every time I reached for a
light switch (screws are grounded). Many times it would draw an arc of
1/4 inch or more. Just for the heck of it, I did a test. I put on my
shoes and drug my feet across the carpet and with a NE-2 neon bulb,
touched the screw on a convenient lamp switch. Many times I would build
up enough static electricity that I could make the bulb burn for about a
second, and sometimes it would snap (arc across?).
I took one of the Static Busters and put the end that gets mounted in my
mouth. I did the test again, and was very surprised that I couldn't
build up enough charge to make the bulb light.
