Thats not a portable air conditioner. Just a window unit.
A real portable A/C unit usually has a duct that rejects heat through a clothes dryer vent and may have a second duct to direct the cooled air. They dont hang out the window.
The portable A/C would not stay attached to the car.

I looked them up and found a portable A/C like I had at work (cool air ducts) and its like a $2000 unit. I didnt know they were so expensive. No wonder the higher ups b|+€hed so much about getting them.

Another option would be to hole saw a $350 to $450 unit from lowes and put a cool airduct on top of it.

I was thinking you park close to this thing, roll the window down a bit, feed the duct into the window and leave it. Then 20 or so minutes before you leave switch the A/C on. Since hot air rises, the cool air being pumped in would force the hot air out through the window opening.
