We use Lidocaine or something similar now... Novocaine hasn't been used since the 50's. (and it's a local anesthesia)
Most oral sturgeons could probably get away with driving a GT2. There's an attitude amongst the general public that looks unfavorably upon a dentist driving such a car (in my opinion) as they're more apt to go to somebody who doesn't throw their money around as much... (depending on what area you're practicing in...) Thus lies a problem with being a Pelicanhead....
That's why I drive mine only on moonless nights...
