It sounds like you approached him in a very rude/disrespect manner. Much like vegans pushing their personal menus on unsuspecting family, blurring out "smog spewing" when talking about a real investment is not going to get you anywhere but back on lonely street. You saved him a lot of effort and time by finding out early, so there was a plus side to your approach.

That may be his dream car and you shit all over it. Not a good approach for a new girlfriend, but better than waiting years to make the attack.

Isn't it crazy that the 80s were 40 years ago?

Not sure why this is an FML and not a mutually agreed-upon parting of ways. If a met some who doesn't like dogs or who does like Trump, buh-bye! Nothing happening here. Nope.

Sounds like he dodged a bullet

he dodged a bullet. you sound annoying and have no idea how toxic those electric batteries are for the environment. not including everything your wearing,what's in your house the food you eat etc. get over yourself.

there's nothing wrong with caring about the environment, but you sound snotty and insufferable. and the electric cars are NOT good for the environment, look up how much they have to mine for one battery. they just trade one evil for another. those batteries don't just grow on trees

that 40 yr old car has done less damage to the environment than building I electric car lmfao
