No, he's mad at you claiming you can read text on a car 20m away, even though that text is so small, that no normal person can read it a few meters away unless you already know what it's saying.
So in essence, what you're saying is not false, but the context makes it an obvious lie. Combined with the "hurr durr, I can read" subtext, it comes off as asshole behavior.
Hur dur, I can read. It’s called walking by parked cars. I read it then and remember it when I’m driving. It’s really not hard. You guys being so ignorant comes off as asshole behavior.
Not remembering random husks of metal on the street isn't ignorance, it's called "not being into cars". I know that's really hard to understand for some people, but for a significant chunk of the population cars don't matter at all.
And if you can't understand that your interests are not universal, that's kind of the definition of ignorance.
