For those who are interested in the numbers, the
capacity between two cars is somewhere around 1000 pf
car-to-car.

Which means that any one car to ground is probably
something like 2000 pf or thereabouts.

Back in the good old days we used to charge our cars up with a model T
spark coil and a groundwire. Until the charge wore off, anyone touching
a door handle would get quite a jolt.
