Sometimes when I am driving my car with the top down I get this very special feeling like I am Sonny Crocket speeding around the empty streets of Miami in his Ferrari.

You know those scenes where it is the middle of the night and Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight" is playing in the background and you can hear the scream of the Ferrari as Crocket winds through the gears, pushing the car to an angry snarl. He is hugging corners tighter than a lonely sailor in a brothel. Headlights bouncing sharply as he slices through the sticky-hot night.

Oh yeah, that's the feeling.

I'm sorry man, but Miami Vice is no longer cool.

cool.
Do you wear a light blue evening jacket with sleeves rolled up over a sweat-soaked pink tight tshirt, with with cotton pants and relaxed "espadrilles" (dunno the name of those shoes entirely made of cloth) too?

That programme was mega cool in its day.
It doesnt seem to have an equivalent on modern tv.

Cutting edge Television in the mid 80's. Very cool at that time. Not so by today's standards.

This reminds me of the "Wedding Singer" when that dude got out of his Delorean and Miami Vice music was playing.
