Fear and loathing on the Porsche Canada website

Every Saturday morning the Farm Manager and I foray into town to breakfast at the European Bakery. We come out with a "Bruno box" of breakfast leftovers. I always feel a bit guilty because I know there's folks in town who wished they had the breakfast Bruno gets. We take the Bruno box out to the parking lot and let the big boy out of the car. What my dog just ate would keep a ravine dweller fed for three days. But what am I supposed to do? Leave the Bruno box at the edge of the ravine? But anyway, I don't want to make this into a political rant. Back to the story; while Bruno is chowing down, I notice there's a dog in the vehicle parked next to us. Looks like a Scottie, and he's sitting very well behaved on the console. Here's where it gets fucky. Behind him, there's a cat roaming back and forth across the back seat. A CAT!! How often do you see a cat free-ranging in a car? Like, NEVER?! Then I notice, holy shit, all the windows are shut tight. Who in their right mind leaves pets in a car with all the windows rolled up? Next thing I notice is I'm parked beside a Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid. I get it! You can keep the windows cranked shut but your magical EV still circulates fresh air to your pets! Wow! And here we've been keeping the windows cracked open when we leave Big-lips Bruno in the car. The Porsche will also keep the air cool, with the windows shut, even on the hot summer days. So I figure I should get me one of those. I go to the Porsche Canada website. Hmm... the base model starts at $112,000. All the utility of my Toyota without the stigma of affordable price! Plus, you can leave your pets in the car with the windows rolled up!
