Explain why sometimes when you step out of the car you receive an electric shock?

It is a static charge built up through the friction of the car's tires over the pavement. When you touch any metal you become a ground and complete the electrical circuit. Similar to rubbing your feet over a carpet and then touching something made of metal. I know that there used to be a metal conductor (wire, or some other type of metal)that could be installed underneath the car that would constantly be in contact with the pavement and would prevent the static charge from building up.
