Team Khanucks

Team Vehicle

Black Betty is our 2002 Toyota Yaris, ‘yaris’ from the Greek ‘charis’, meaning ‘grace’ which makes her a fitting member of the team as she will be our ‘grace under pressure’. Black Betty, our chariot, with 102,000 miles under her hood, has been around the block a few times. Experienced, determined, and reliable (except for that slightly sagging chassis), Black Betty is confident that she can make it to the end. She loves all kinds of music and nothing makes her happier than a vintage diesel and premium performance engine oil. Black Betty’s biggest fear is losing it in Mongolia.
