Maybe if you put about 50 sheets in a Vibe, you wouldn't get a huge static shock every time you get out like I do. I'm sick of it!

We may have to bump Bounce up into the WD40 catagory after reading that, still not as useful as duct tape though.

I'm sick of it!Try spraying your seats with one of those anti-static aerosol sprays...We use to spray our TV's at target so the customers didn't get shocked when they got near the screens (also to keep dust from being attracted to the screens).

I realized how useful Bounce really is. I've tried a few of those before and they worked pretty well. Now I have some uses for my used dryer sheets as well! Cool!I wonder if I can take out the cabin air filter from behind the glovebox in the Vibe and cover it with a Bounce sheet then reinsert it. Then when the fan is blowing air, it will be springtime fresh!

Make sure you stick it on the underside of the filter...the intake air goes from bottom to top. If you put it on top, it'll just blow off into the system.
