The manager of the eco-lodge said she was giving us a “Jimmy car.” That confused me because I thought she was trying to say it was a car just for me. Then she walked us out to the parking lot and gave us a little Vanna White wave of the hand and showed us the Jimny car.

Turns out a Jimny is a four-wheel drive off-road mini SUV made by Suzuki. I didn’t know there was an automotive category called a “four-wheel drive off-road mini SUV.” Did you?

Pretty sure they rented Jimnys in Bali. And small SUV’s arr very popular im Oz.
