To want DP to WFH for one day

AIBU for saying to DP just WFH for one day so I can use my car for my work. Basically it’s snowing here and we have 2 cars, I have a SUV perfect for this weather and he has a brand new sports car which really is not good in this weather. I WFH and have done for a long time but have an office as a base. He works in the office (education but not teacher) about half an hour away. He used my car to get there yesterday which was fine as I didn’t need it. However, today I need to go into my office to meet someone (it’s a 10 minute drive away) so I need my car. He can work from home, he is the boss of his company he just doesn’t like it and prefers to be in the office. He isn’t happy I need my car and is thinking about using his as it could be ok, yes I could but it also just needs to hit one bit of ice and his car will have no chance. I don’t see why it’s a big issue to WFH for one sodding day! If he goes in his and crashes his car, I will feel awful. I swear he feels his job comes before mine!! Who is BU here?

30 minutes there and 30 minutes back. Losing you 40 minutes of time where you would actually be exercising and doing something good for you and saving the environment? I'd be walking every day. I don't know what is wrong with people sometimes

Don't be so smug, I'd rather drive then risk slipping on ice. You do you and let others be.
