Default Anti-Static Keychain

Just testing the waters here. I know there was a post regarding getting static shock when getting out of your Scions. I have contacted a seller in Hong Kong where I can get these for about $7 US plus shipping. Who would be interested?

I'll buy one. That's the only thing I don't like is that wake-up jolt I get when getting out of my xA.

Ummm, what is it and does it work and how does it work? This device is news to me, but that annoying static shock is a ____er.

I will keep you guys posted. I am still working out some small details, but should be able to get some, if the interest is high enough.

The keychain neutralizes the positive ions or something in the body so that you don't shock yourself when get out of the car.

Default give it up to Auto Freak ya'll

those are cool but I could get them locally for about the same price, and the one I had had glass in the center so when you waved it infront of metal, after getting out of your car, you could see a lil spark in front of the keychain and inside it too...

Djuan...where are you getting them from???

I have been looking everywhere for them and had to look over seas to find them. If there is some State side, I sure would like to know where I can pick up a few, rather then having to order them from over seas.

Thanks in advance!

Until you get your keychains, try this:

Dilute some fabric softener with water, and put it in a spray bottle; then spray a little bit on your floor mat and seat. It really works.

Ok, from the number of replies to this post, it looks like there is enough interest. Some of you have been able to buy them in the States and that is cool, but PLEASE share with the rest of us where you can get them.

Thanks!

here you go:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...&category=1345

They've got them for all the Initial D cars....except the one on the link is the Levin 85, not the Trueno 86. Understandable mistake.

Thanks much!!!!

I guess I won't be needing to ship them in from Hong Kong, unless someone is still interested in the mini flashlight model.
