car ride
Journey by automobile
A car ride is a journey taken in an automobile, typically as a passenger rather than driver.
The phrase often implies a relatively short trip or one taken for its own sake: The baby falls asleep during car rides, We went for a car ride to clear our heads.
A car ride can be pleasant or tedious depending on distance, company, and traffic.
