joy ride
Stolen car spree
A joy ride is a drive taken purely for pleasure, with no destination in mind.
The term often implies recklessness or irresponsibility—teenagers taking a joy ride in a stolen car, or someone using a company vehicle for personal fun.
To joy ride is to take such a drive: We joy rode through the countryside with the windows down.
