The Sunset Strip is set to get even posher. The Beverly-Hills adjacent region of Los Angeles is home to the Pendry Residences West Hollywood by Montage Hotels & Resorts. The development has added its unique Super Garage to the property. Nicknamed "The Show Room", the 1,719-square-foot private gated garage provides direct access via private elevator to Terrace Estate 608, a two-story penthouse Residence.

With the purchase of the space, the buyer will receive a one-year lease of a McLaren 765LT to complement their new West Hollywood home. It can take its space in the garage next to four other cars and a private washroom. The car is one of 765 models that McLaren will make. This year's allocation is already sold out.

"We are delighted to be working with Pendry Residences West Hollywood to help create the ultimate auto enthusiast's dream garage," says Tony Joseph, President, McLaren North America. "The 765LT is the most dynamically advanced and engaging McLaren LT model to date. With allocations for the US market already filled, this is a unique chance to experience this incredible supercar."

The buyer will also receive a design allowance to help them customize the garage as they see fit, which inches the options to create the ultimate McLaren garage designed by EYRC Architecture in collaboration with McLaren Automotive.

But that's not all. For the auto-enthusiast-in-training, McLaren is also including one of the newly-released kid's ride-on electric-powered McLaren Senna cars.

"We are excited to partner with McLaren Automotive North America as they share the our dedication to an unparalleled luxury experience. Through our collaboration with McLaren, Pendry Residences West Hollywood further elevates the residential living experience in Los Angeles," says Tina Necrason, Executive Vice President, Residential, Montage International. "Los Angeles residents are passionate about their cars and our Super Garage offers one discerning owner the opportunity to house their most prized vehicles in a space that is as luxurious as the Residence itself."

What was your best car-related experience this year?

Chris Teague

This year has been a lot of things, but it hasn't been boring. Even if we focus only on the car world, there's plenty to talk about, from microchip-related new vehicle shortages to the wave of new electric vehicles hitting the market. That leaves us with a question for all of you: What was the best or most memorable car moment for you in 2021? I'll get the conversation started.

I'd spent a good portion of 2021 wanting a new-old car to drive when I wasn't testing a new vehicle. That's harder than you'd think for someone who thinks, talks, and writes about cars all day, because there are so many interesting, risky, and downright funky options out there in every price range. The added headache for me was that I'd chosen to shop for a "fun" car in one of the most volatile car markets ever seen. Even the extremely high-mileage "untouchable" European cars I wanted to buy were commanding ridiculous prices.

After a solid few months of waffling between various rattletrap Mercedes-AMG, BMW M, and Audi S/RS cars, I landed on an option that had escaped me before: The Porsche Cayenne. First-generation Cayennes are a real bargain now, but the 955/957 (Porsche's internal code for the SUVs) can experience major problems that occur with or without regular maintenance and care. I was determined to buy one, and wasn't overly concerned about mileage, as long as I could count the number of owners on one hand. There was a beautiful 2009 Cayenne GTS with 90,000 miles but nine owners, a gorgeous 2004 Cayenne Turbo with a concerning engine tick, and many more just like them. Finally, I decided to risky-click a 196,000-mile Cayenne GTS in Southern California. It had one owner and one dealer-owner for a month or two prior to sale, its condition looked decent in photos, and I was able to negotiate a reasonable enough price that shipping it from San Diego to Maine wasn't a huge problem.

I had two traveling Euro mechanics check the car out, and both confirmed that it was well-worn but mechanically sound, so I jumped. Ten days later, on a snowy, icy, dark Maine afternoon, the Cayenne arrived. Cosmetically, there were a few things the dealer and mechanics failed to mention, but overall, it looked good. The SUV passed Maine safety and emissions testing without problem, got a new set of Michelins, and I was on my way.

A few days of driving revealed what I was really in for. A check engine light revealed a camshaft position sensor error and the Cayenne displayed a nasty vibration at idle. A new sensor and motor mounts, and I'm on my way. I'll update you as more things break or miraculously work, but I want to hear your memories from 2021.

Email me at chris@automotivemap.com, and I will compile the best and most interesting stories for a story on New Year's Day. May you all have a wonderful 2022.
