      @@Sum_Ting_Wong your screen name cracks me up. I’m a former F-15C pilot, now a Learjet pilot. So, I’m familiar with Asiana Flight 214 that collided with a rocky seawall at San Francisco Airport (KSFO), just short of its intended runway (28L) on 7/6/13. KTVU reported the flight crew names being ‘Sum Ting Wong,' 'Wi Tu Lo,' 'Ho Lee Fuk,' and 'Bang Ding Ow'. Some FAA intern, who gave the TV station the fake names, lost his job and probably will never have an aviation job of any kind whatsoever!

    The guest star that was the suspect and driver of the car in the episode was Danny Sullivan who won the Indy 500 in 1985. The car was a REAL one...one of 65 ever built. And a legend in itself.

      This is what 'bothered' me about the episode (and Crockett's Daytona while we're at it taking it at screen value that it's a real Ferrari and not a kit car built on a Corvette used in production...because someone will bring that up). I feel like this crime is pretty quickly solved by figuring out who of the 65 owners of a 906 brought their to Miami. I mean, I've never seen them as anything other than all white but it still couldn't be that hard to narrow it down.
      Then the undercover cop Crocket driving around in a car where there's only like 115 of in left hand drive seems like a bad idea. "Who burned you?" "That guy in the crazy rare black Ferrari." Like, he's busting people who make buckets of money and buy expensive stuff, at least a few are going to know how rare a Daytona Spyder is. Also, it's like $400k. I think I looked it up at the time but I can't imagine how...way too much money to use as cover for their vice officer. The Testarosa made way more sense.
      Everything looked so cool that I watched it anyway. No one else was giving me the possibility of exotic car chases every week. And there was this cool ass episode where they chased a Porsche 906 and the episode revolved around the Camel GTP series which was my favorite racing series...and Danny Sulivan ends the episode by trying to make a break for it in a 962. I wanted to see that chase last longer but there was no way it would with a 250 mph race car with a tunnel body against...anything else. Also probably no one was willing to let them go too nuts with their prototype Le Mans race car...

      Indeed LE does use 'crazy rare' and 'super expensive' cars, yachts, planes, etc. as props for SO. There was actually an episode where they wanted to take back the car and he had to convince them that it was crucial to his cover and ongoing operations. So, its not like he just signed it out of the motorpool.
      The irony is the kit car in the show, will handily outperform the real thing.

    I know the car and the man who drove it during the filming of the chase sequences. The producer of MV, Michael Mann, decided he wanted something exotic and rare to be featured in this episode as it surrounded the Miami Grand Prix and Danny Sullivan's acting debut. Calls went out and one curator said, "Sure!". The car was brought to Miami in a semi from its home in a private collection in Florida. The scenes were shot in a single night, the car was put back in the truck and taken back to its display area, undamaged. Sadly, this curator didn't get express permission to use the car and even though nothing bad happened, he lost his job. It all ended well as he went out on his own and has been extremely successful in the restoration business for decades.

      @@DDELFIERRO Ah we never got that out on the East coast. In the late 1980s or at least early 1990s Canadian "Kind bud" started showing up, it was much better than the Mexican and Colombian brick we were getting up to then. I have to note that I lived in two places back then, my mother was in Springfield Mass in a poor section of mixed races, we only got the Mexican brick back during the 1980s. I also went to school where my dad lived, St. Thomas US Virgin Islands, but despite it being a tropical island, it is very small (32 sq miles) and people pretty much only grew for themselves. Late in the 1980s my dad traded cocaine for buds, but he didn't smoke so he gave them to me. Awesome stuff with red and gold in it, I brought 2 ounces next to my balls on the plane to share with friends in Springfield.

    "They ´re racing in the New York City streets all the time". I´ve been waiting for this scene on your channel. The German translation for our TV was very tight to this original, so this was our cool quote those days way back in the eighties. When this episode was aired in the german tv, I just turned 18 and got my driving licence. I felt like Crockett driving in the black BMW E30 of my brother.

      There was also "unofficial" racing in New York streets, namely the type of street racing one saw in the movie Fast and Furious. The bigger street racers would buy up Pro Stock dragsters (race cars using production car bodies) and trailer them over to highways. After midnight until 4am, they would block off and shut down certain highway sections on Fridays and Saturdays and treat it like a drag strip until the cops came by....and then move to another location. If you were to see the movie "Two Lane Blacktop", right at the beginning you spot the California version of it--after the Watts riots, the LAPD turned a blind eye to the racing since no one doing it bothered to worry about race, color or creed, so it let off the tensions brewing in other parts of the city, as much street racing is people watching as well as participating.

    The Ferrari Daytona Spider Crockett and Tubbs drive in seasons one and two was in actuality a kit car; a plexiglass body on top of a Chevy Corvette chassis with a Corvette power plant, on Pirelli tires. It was cheaper than using a genuine Daytona Spider. Ferrari CEO Enzo Ferrari offered the use of a new white Ferrari Testarossa for seasons three to five.
