Re: Shocking!!!

A car battery's 12 volts, sure, but it's not the voltage that kills you, it's the amperage. Try hooking your ******* up to a pair of jumper cables. If you stick your finger in a cigarette lighter socket, it WILL give you a good jolt and can burn the skin before the fuse blows. Probably similar to what this guy experienced, I'd say the cigarette lighter's probably badly grounded and not just static electricity.
