Anything is possibl: It is best to be in a well-ventilated space- outdoors beats being in a car. If the windows are open with AC/Fan that will help to push particles away. Better to be at least 6 feet apart which might be hard to do in a car. Best to keep interactions under ten minutes. Great that you both wore masks. Transmission is possible but you did some things right - ventilation, mask & short time.
