Good advice!

From Owner's Manual:

Turning leveling system off

A vehicle on which the leveling system is activated can move unexpectedly or tip or fall off lifting equipment,
e.g. a jack or lifting platform. This can cause serious injuries and damage.

Manually set medium height and switch off the leveling system before raising the vehicle.
The automatic leveling system must be switched off when driving onto an auto hoist or when raising the
vehicle using the car jack.

Settings > Vehicle > Additional chassis settings > Activate jack mode

The leveling system switches on automatically at speeds above approx. 4 mph (7km/h).

Brought Moonshadow to her winter home. Always a sad day to put away the boat for the winter. But I have to say, the Cayenne S e-Hybrid with air suspension, PDCC, and RWS makes towing incredibly easy.

Filled her up, but that's about it. 3k until my next oil change and have everything ready. Looking for the sill trim pieces that say "Cayenne" as they are just rubber strips at the moment. Also looking to convert to a GTS front bumper and rear spoiler, but need to find a good paint shop local to me (Central Coast, CA)

That's cool. I miss my 64 radio box. Going down the road I would either get a thumbs up or a middle finger.

I printed a crest after it flew off with the ice. Turns out on the 2008 the didn't use the speed nuts on the back, just tape. So this will do for now.

That actually looks really good!

I bought the turbonite badge for mine. Really like the monochrome scheme

Thanks, I used a carbon filament so its dark grey.

Changed the oil, and I don't mind it on any other vehicle, but the Cayenne is just a pain to get the filter off and it's aftermath always a mess.
Truly stupid placement on the Turbo.
I was going to delay a little as the garage is cold, but decided to buy another heater and do it anyway as I'm right at 5000 miles after a long trip to the East coast.
Really glad I did that as it was really black. It isn't usually that dirty. I wonder if that is fuel dilution in the colder weather. I should really get an analysis some time.

Agreed! The oil change can be messy. I usually use aluminum foil to direct the oil coming out of the filter housing.

So funny I was talking to my buddy Tom about how Porsche intentionally makes it difficult for you to change your own oil…
There are enough screws in the underbelly pan to keep the shuttle in place!!!
And then, of course, there’s that wonderful filter that you have to bring down that has the outside and then the inside cartridge. I learned the trick only after the fact of having oil run down my sleeve, which is always so wonderful.
I reached my hand around the front suspension and was able to pull the filter element out of the plastic piece in order for that to come down through that suspension area, which is the size of a [gosh darn] Band-Aid
Next time it’ll take me less than half the time to do an oil change and I won’t have oil running down my arm…
