The question is not which is correct, although you may comment on that if you want.
The question is how would you say it?
Substitute "Mary" with any name you wish.
Mary and me went for a drive.
Mary and I went for a drive.
Me and Mary went for a drive.
I and Mary went for a drive.

What kind of a man are you? The guy is unconscious in a coma and you don't have the guts to kiss his girlfriend? -
"Mary and I went for a drive" is grammatically correct.
"Me and Mary went for a drive" is how I say it. -
Mary and I went for a drive.
As bourboner said, "Mary and I went for a drive." is grammatically correct, but I think the way the statement is said depends greatly on:
Where you are in the world
Where in the world you were born
Where in the world you've spent most of your time
Where in the world you learned to speak English (I'm assuming English is the langauge that the statement is being said in)
Not to deviate too far from the question, but has anyone else noticed how more and more people are pronouncing words that end in "dn't" (such as couldn't, shouldn't, wouldn't) so they sound like they they have left out the "d"? So couldn't sounds like "cou-nent" (I'm not even sure how you would spell the mispronounced words). Listen closely next time you are watching TV, or listening to the radio and you'll see (or rather you'll hear) what I mean."Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man, and let history make its own judgment."

I took the bitch out for a drive.
A good rule of thumb is if you've made it to thirty-five and your job still requires you to wear a name tag, you've made a serious vocational error. Dennis Miller -
"Mary and me" has become acceptable through usage.

More than one person may fit a category and more than one trait may fit a person.
Just as in real life so far, in no particular order:
We have the literalist (In a broad sense).
We have the suspicious/cautious.
We have the chauvinist
We have the voucher/seconder/supporter
We have the dreamer
We have the subtle one
We have the liberalist (also in a broad sense)
We have the educator
We have the comedian.
We have the analyst
You may privately attach the tags to the users yourselves.

You left out ...
We have the wise guy
And you are free to attach that label to anyone you wish ... -
I would say, "Mary took me for a drive" or "Mary rode me"
-
Unless you were driving then it would be "I drove Mary"
