If you are younger than me, and wonder, what the hell is "tuscadero" and how does that relate to the color pink?

Well, way back in the 1970s, there was a really good tv sitcom about life in the late 1950s, and it was called Happy Days, the characters were high school teens, and they had a mechanic friend who was the coolest guy around, he rode a motorcycle, wore a black leather jacket, and his nickname was the Fonz. 

Seriously, the Fonz was an amazing pop culture phenom, and had a catchphrase, and use the thumbs up, and had a moral compass that couldn't be beat. Part magic mechanic, part Capt America, part Eagle Scout, part Evel Knievel without the bad attitude, and he was all heart. 

So, anyway, a couple seasons into the show, they had to up the level of interest to get ratings for the show to increase, and they invented a biker girlfriend, and named her Pinky Tuscadero.  




other interesting color names for the Jeep Wrangler are Snazzberry, Nacho, Hellayella, Hydro Blue, and Sarge Green
