"Joyride", in a car, anyway, has come to mean the car is stolen. Is that what you mean? When you say "He took me out for a joyride", it sounds like he pulled up in front of your house in a stolen car and honked, then you came out and got in.

Actually, I did mean that. But it was not actually stealing but borrowing (without asking) a father's car.
