So I go to my dentist this morning and park by his Ferrari. Kid at dental office is outside taking pictures of my C8. He tells dental staff that he likes my C8 more than the Ferrari lol. I might not go that far but I do love this car. Now if I only had my dentist’s money.
Featured Big compliment for C8

Talked with my local GM dealer owner a few times when I go in for oil changes. He had a guy with a Ferrari get rid of it for a Corvette.
Reason - When the Ferrari needs service there is only one place that works on it. So when it broke down in Quebec City he had to have it flat bedded to Montreal, rent a car to get back and then pay big dinaro for the repair. As he said, you can get GM service in just about every large city (except Farnham) all over the country and for a lot less dinaro.
Makes sense to me. Don't say I would trust all GM dealers but at least they are there.

You do.
He'll get some of it every appt.
Just keep in mind that you've paid for that Ferrari...with Alberta retaining the highest dental fees in Canada which started in the now past "oil boom years"...and dentists refusing to follow the "tariff" set by insurers so they extra bill over and above what the insurers pay for and have been doing that for years. The statistical comparisons have shown Albertans pay about 25% (minimum, on average) more than people in the neighbouring Provinces of BC and Saskatchewan. Many Albertans close to the borders go to those Provinces for treatment and I know of friends in Calgary who will drive to BC. Our past NDP government threatened to impose caps on the dental fees but in the end, relented to pressure and the fees went down (?) about 5%. Now with Alberta's change of government back to the Conservatives, I'm not sure what happened to that slight decrease. With its highest fees, many dentists come from outside of Alberta to set up shop. I know of some who purchase exotic cars, have their children schooled in private European boarding schools, work half days on Fridays, set earlier hours and take long vacations overseas. For the vacations, this was of course pre-COVID. With our huge deficit just announced and the oil jobs gone, it'll be interesting to see if people decide their children don't all need "Hollywood smiles" (many children getting perfect teeth alignment with braces and invisalign) or forego dental work.
True that for sure. Wifey was quoted $ 3,600 in Red Deer for bridge work. Vacationed in Costa Rica and had it done for $1,100.00. My sister is a dental assistant and confirmed exactly the same product they use here. Dentists and veterinarians ... License to steal... lol...

I only lived in the Eddy for 13 months, but I had the best dentist ever.
He yanked all 4 wisdom teeth at a 9am appt, and I was back to work at 10:30. No probs.

Some might question the wisdom of that. LOL
What kind of Ferrari does your dentist drive?
