You're close, having only forgotten the hyphen. It Mercedes-Benz, not Mercedes Benz.

From time to time, for fun, I salt in a small taste of of Ebonics.

And remember, nobodys perfect.

And you're close, having, as most do, incorrectly used the ellipsis.

I don't care what they are called. When people find out that I have three they think that I am wealthy. No......I just prefer these cars to much of the garbage that is out there. Besides, the years of these are 1999, 1985, and 1981. Hardly 'new'.

Ummmm it would be "I have 4 Mercedes cars" Unless of course you got an SUV or truck, the it should be I have a fleet of Mercedes.

Try this when people ask you what you drive, make is sound casual.

"I have a couple Mercedes."

Solves the problem nicely.
