On topic: Serious static problem

This is giving me fits. There's something strange with my minivan, that it generates a *ton* of static electricity whenever I drive even a few blocks. When I touch the metal of the door upon getting out, I get a shock that hurts all the way up to the shoulder. The real problem, and what makes this on topic, is that I use this vehicle to pick-up/transport my classic beauties everywhere. I'm terrified that I'm going to pick up that once-in-a-lifetime S-100 rescue or something and kill the guts with one of these lightning bolts. What I do now is keep a wrist-strap and a box of Bounce dryer sheets (don't laugh) in my jockey box. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Aaron C.
