Anti-static straps

>>17749174
for what purpose

>being a little bitch

>>17749180
So that the car has a static connection to the ground, preventing static shock for driver and passengers.

>>17749185
can't you just ground yourself by touching the a panel before you get in

Is this fucking real, how often do you shock yourself on your fucking car.

>>17749199
I do every time i exit my truck.

are people really faggots to the point where they're unable to cope with getting shocked and buy this piece of shit to put on their vehicle

>>17749199
Not OP but I live in an insanely dry/windy area and you would be surprised how much static can build up on your door. (enough to send a good jolt up your arm). Still think its a dumb and unnecessary thing to buy though.

I thought this was mostly a problem with old cars with insufficient grounding.

>>17749225
I can't say I've ever been zapped by my car before.

So, why should I use this instead of just putting a piece of wire there?

>>17749185
yeah the car has four vulcanized rubber tires though.

>>17749212
Grab a door panel or some metal bodywork next time you hop out, BEFORE your feet touch the ground. You're welcome.

>>17749225
Why is that something anyone should have to "cope" with?
>man getting zapped every time I get out of my car sure is annoying and even though it's easily remedied I'll just just deal with it instead of doing anything about it
How hard headed could a person be? Imagine anyone complaining this way about any other product.

Umbrellas

Sunscreen

Keyrings
>are people really faggots to the point where they're unable to cope with having loose keys and buy this piece of shit to put their keys on

You sound like such a fucking idiot

Yes, pretty sad I know people like to larp as racers

versus

During the winter at my old apartment every time I touched my key to the lock I got shocked. If you would rather buy a stupid-looking gimmick item versus dealing with a non-issue then you might be hopeless

Your stanced coupe must look really cool, huh

>>17749199
All the god damn time.

>>17749981
The difference is rain and the sun are all real problems. Who the fuck gets shocked by their car? Especially so often they need to install an ugly stick like that.

every time if I use my "better" shoes. never if I use my work boots.

>>17749225
my car shocks me every single fucking time i get out of it and im tired of it

>>17749174
Wouldn't this make the car less safe in the event of a lightning strike or downed power pole? Seems like it would defeat the whole Faraday cage thing.

>>17749199
often enough.

My friend works for the CTA so he got me like 4x industrial bus straps.

>>17749981
that because you wont get sick by getting low amperage high voltage static shocks, it's a minor problem, sunburns and hypothermia because of rain can cause damage to your body

>>17750317
lightning doesn't give a shit if your car is grounded or not.

>>17749981
Umbrellas and sunscreen are for fags. Deep down you know this, that's why you posted them.

Sometimes mostly during the colder months there are weeks/months I go where I get static shocked like 10 times a day . Never did find out why

>>17750317
>>17751595
Lightning technically wouldn't give a shit about your silly little strip if your car was somehow the path of least resistance, but it's highly unlikely that it ever would be.

>>17749174
I put one in my new camry. When I drive it really feel like it's more grounded to the ground.

>>17749821
so transient electrical charges wont ground through them, gotcha
