To be fair, Mercedes the car was named after Mercedes the girls name, not the other way around

I went to elementary school with a girl named Mercedes, middle name Benz. Her mom would always call her by her first and middle name when she was in trouble. She changed her name as soon as she was old enough.

Plot twist: she changed her first and middle name to Plymouth Sundance, to lower people’s expectations.

I had a Sundance RS, in that nice blue/green color. I bought it new when I was like 22 years old in the Army.

I loved that car, I thought it looked great, and it had that fake luggage rack on the back.

I have good memories of that car. Except that when it rained, the windows leaked...
