you hold all the cards here. find another job (not necessarily right away but start looking) that you could tolerate and tell him you're gonna bounce if he doesn't bump you up to $25/hr.
if you have another job offer in hand you can really turn the screws on him, especially since you know the business is profitable enough (that $60k car could have been an additional $30/hr to you over the course of a year, assuming you work 40 hours a week). so ask for a huge raise because the number can only go down during negotiations, not up
then go back to looking for jobs but use your shiny new hourly rate as a baseline for negotiating with other employers and leave your current boss in the lurch, ideally as quickly as possible after winning the negotiation.
get his ass. show this dipshit no mercy, it's not half as bad as what he'd do to you if he could
