tooling around
Casual leisurely driving
Tooling around means driving or moving about without a particular destination, usually in a leisurely or aimless way: We spent the afternoon tooling around town.
The phrase often implies casual enjoyment rather than purposeful travel.
It can extend beyond vehicles to mean wandering or puttering around generally: He's just tooling around the house.
