Meet STInister

摘要

You've all seen those murdered-out Porsche Cayennes and Panameras running around with giant robotic arms on them, right? No? Maybe it's an LA. thing. Known in the biz as Russian Arms, they cost about 1 million bucks, or $25K to rent. Our entire budget for an episode of either Ignition or Head 2 Head is less than that. Trouble is, we need a camera car. Preferably a quick one. STInister began life when my co-host, Jethro Bovingdon, asked me if Porsche would give us a Panamera. That phone call went something like this: Me: "Hey Porsche, can we have a Panamera?" Porsche: "No." Next I called Subaru to ask about an STI: "We have a 2018 in Denver. Will Friday work?" Never has a phone call been easier. As for the name, there are approximately eleventy billion STIs called "NaSTI." Same sentiment, different spelling.
