joyrider
Stolen car speeder
A joyrider is someone who steals a vehicle for the thrill of driving it recklessly, typically abandoning it afterward rather than keeping it.
The term emphasizes pleasure-seeking over profit motive: The joyriders crashed the stolen car into a fence and fled.
By extension, joyrider can describe anyone pursuing thrills without regard for consequences.
