Hello, casual reader from the snowbelt region. The air is really dry in the winter, so static electricity is very common everywhere.
Anyway, to avoid static when exiting your car, all you need to do is touch metal before you put your foot on the ground. Just touch the door frame or the outside of the A-pillar. I read something about you need to ground yourself before you touch the ground.
That Static Guards stuff stinks, but the only downside about the method above - you look like a fat senior citizen trying to get out of your Caddie

there is a big thread devoted to this topic under the title "Shocking!"
The short version is... either grab the metal of the car when you get out, or don't drag your butt at all getting out and then you won't get a shock. It has to do with the polyester and stuff used in the interiors of both the evos and the lancers.
But the static guard works a bit too ;-).
