I still need to change the oil and, clean interior, detail exterior and maybe put a clear bra on the bumper if I can get to all that.

Are the motor mounts the original ones or have you replaced them or have they been replaced by a previous owner?

Yeah, after the "Thinking of changing my oil" thread, yet another cliff hanger.

These benefits are lost if the spoiler is more than a half-millimeter off in either direction, so you may want to use a caliper to measure, for exactness.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I washed and covered my car for the winter. Should I store it with the spoiler up or down, or maybe it doesn't matter. I still need to change the oil and, clean interior, detail exterior and maybe put a clear bra on the bumper if I can get to all that.
John, perhaps the type of cover will dictate your answer
a fitted, Porsche cover will probably not allow the wing to be up
if it's a loose generic cover, maybe yes
leave the wing down
John - It really depends on a couple of factors.
How many miles are on the car?
Is the car cover an indoor cover or a waterproof (outdoor) cover?
Is it a generic car cover or a fitted one (i.e. - an OEM Porsche cover)?
Do you normally have the spoiler up on the car or typically do you just drive it around in the automatic (normal) mode?
Are the motor mounts the original ones or have you replaced them or have they been replaced by a previous owner?
However, if you leave it up it will create additional downforce and your rear tires will flatspot quicker. Ohh there are just so many decisions to make. First world problems..........
To get the benefits of storing the car with the spoiler in both the up and down positions, the obvious solution is to put the spoiler only half way up. Start by measuring the position of the spoiler in the lowered and raised positions, and then determine where the exact middle of it is. These benefits are lost if the spoiler is more than a half-millimeter off in either direction, so you may want to use a caliper to measure, for exactness.
Glad I don't have to worry about storing a car for the winter...
But I do live in Hawaii, do I need sun block while driving with the sun roof open?
Should I just not worry about it and keep the revs up so the ultra violet rays all end up in the back seat?
With the spoiler up, you're displacing more air into the atmosphere and potentially creating hazardous conditions for aircraft and satellites. I wouldn't want that on my conscience.
