Because today is Dia del Conejito, I'm going to whip out my collection of photos of racing drivers with Easter bunnies. Thankfully, my bunnies are pretty cute. I won't give you nightmare fuel like the folks at Nascarcasm did, unless you're B-Spec Fiesta racer Marc Sherrin above. Sit back, relax and enjoy the holidays.
The Puffalumps are my 24 Hours of LeMons team mascots. We're Der Porschelump, and there's a giant vinyl of Fluffy Bunny (a special edition Easter Bunny Puffalump from 1987) on the roof. Puffalumps are, without a doubt, a thing.
So, they travel and go to other races with me. Everyone can take photos of cars. Not everyone can take photos of a Puffalump Easter bunny mooning people out the passenger side of said car. Occasionally, the Puffalumps take a break from being mischievous little deviants to get hugs. (That is their purpose in life, you know.)
So, enjoy this collection of racing drivers with Easter bunnies.
