Obviously, the protagonist is begining to feel his life unravel from lonliness, so the point his "only desire is to die." So when his partner mocks it, he is rather upset.
What of the cold leather seats? When he "drove the point home," is there some sort of double entendre here...the reason he "might die with a smile on his face", perhaps? Perhaps...what he's seen happen in other people's lives, and is now happening in his, is that he's decided that he can replace love with lust?
