A Sunday drive is an automobile trip, primarily in the United States, Australia and New Zealand, typically taken for pleasure or leisure on a Sunday, usually in the afternoon.
[3] Henry Ford was an advocate of the Sunday drive.
He promoted the weekend for activity rather than rest because it led to the sale of automobiles.

[5] But after OPEC started increasing supply to hold market share against North American shale oil producers, oil and gasoline prices dropped to record levels leading some to go driving on Sunday again in the mid-2010s.
