Yes, every time. What you can do to stop it is touch your car with your sleeve or side first, instead of with your hand.

It's from the weather. One way to avoid them is to keep one hand on a metal part on the car while putting one foot on the ground effectively grounding yourself.

So uh, if it's from the weather, why has my car done this for a year and half? I think we have had a few weather changes during that time.

Climates don't come much more humid than here in Atlanta...

Um, I don't think he was asking what static electricity is...given that we're all over the age of 6, I'm pretty sure we're all familiar with the concept. I think he was asking why enough static electricity builds up in the body of the tC to cause a shock every time one gets out of the car.

Or get leather seats.

I Wonder how much it would be to get aftermarket leather in the tC.... the seat material is really weird it changes color depending on color reflection from the outside, on some cars it looks blueish, on others purple or red while I'm told it's really just grey/black

It is $750-$1,250 depending on where you get it done and what kind of leather you get, and I don't know what you're talking about as far as the tC's seats changing colors.
