AIBU to be upset that my husband cares more about his car than me

Long story short - my car has a sticky clutch that has jammed a couple of times and it’s been hard to get the car in gear.
My DH freaked out and said it was too dangerous to put the kids in and that It needs to go to the garage, but at the time he booked it in for I have a work meeting to get to (I live approx 45 minutes away from work so it’s a long enough journey).
I asked my DH if I could use his car instead as he is off work and I’m insured on it, because he told me mine was unsafe. He said no because it’s too big for me to drive and he might need it if he wants to go out tomorrow, although he has no specific plans. He said I would have to change the booking at the garage and take mine instead (bearing in mind that 5 minutes before this he was saying it was too dangerous to put the kids in).
So I was left with the choice of don’t go to work, or, rearrange the garage, risk the sticky clutch and hope for the best. As it happens, I talked it through with the garage afterwards and they explained it actually isn’t dangerous and that normal, sensible driving is fine until I can get it looked at, but that’s not really the point - AIBU to be upset about the fact DH thought it was dangerous but was still unwilling to let me use his car, and to feel like his car is more important than me?
