(Is my English correct? driven by or drove by?)

Ha! "...drive by a dealership..." I think it goes, but what the heck do I know, I my English is not very good looking anyway...

"No, I am not. I swear. I happened to drive by the dealership, so I stopped by.”

So... “have driven by” was changed to “drive by” to match the past simple tense used in the rest of the sentence, " dealership” was preceded by “the” to specify which dealership, comma after “dealership” to separate the clauses.

Fantastic, I had a feeling it was off.

Thank you so much!

I get it: I have an apartment in Sicily, saying my Italian needs work would be charitable.
