The idea of Sunday drives taken for pleasure and leisure, without rush or destination, began in the 1920's and 30's and became popular throughout the 20th century, except by some Christians because of Sunday driving  not conforming to the idea of rest.
A Sunday drive is an automobile trip, primarily in the United States and Australia, typically taken for pleasure or leisure on a Sunday, usually in the afternoon. During the Sunday drive, there is typically no destination and no rush. The use of the automobile for the Sunday drive began in the 1920s and 1930s. The practice became increasingly popular throughout the 20th century. Traveling on Sunday by automobile is questioned by some Christians, due to observing Sunday Sabbath. While these parties consider the activity "leisure", they do not count it as "rest".
