On a daily basis my friend and I are getting shocked when we touch our cars. I have been asking folks and the same is happening to them. Metal door handles and grocery carts are a culprit also.
 
static buildup (friction from tyres and road)
have you seen how some cars have a piece of useless piece of rubber/plastic hanging on the underside of the care touching the road every so often?

supposedly that prevents the static build-up
 
Well, It's winter. You probably know that static elecricity is more present during the winter. Thus, the spontanous shock when you touch your car.
