Is it cool to leave my P-car up on jack stands say, all Chicago winter?

P.S. Those liftbars may just be the coolest thing I have ever seen.

There has been a lot of debate about that over the years (on rennlist, 928 forum where I mostly hang out). Many do, but the smart guys say put something under the wheels in order to keep the shocks from becoming fully unloaded, which is bad for the seals apparently. It makes sense to me.
I never put my cars off the ground for extended periods. I do overinflate the tires quite a bit to avoid flat spotting, however. A few months of sitting won't hurt anything imho.

The best I have ever seen

Are the jack stands for a E36


THis is pure genius, they are keyed so they cannot rotate or twist

Mohawks are seriously over engineered. If you want something big and heavy, I don't think you will find any heavier or more robust.

I think these are on the buy list.

Contact My Lift Stand - Automotive Lift Stands for DIY car repair & autotive maintenance shops

I have a friend with a R33 Skyline and he uses these for car shows to get the car off the ground. The look very handy.
