Why do Mexicans tie stuffed animals to their trucks?

I made a recent trip down to Mexico, and noticed several "service" type trucks that each had a stuffed animal somehow tied or bound to the front or back of the truck. There seemed to be no consistency in the type of stuffed animal used -- all shapes and sizes.
Now, back in Phoenix where I live, I've been noticing the same things. There are a lot of Mexican workers here in Phoenix and I've seen two that have stuffed animals hanging from the back of their trucks.
Here's one I found near Puerto Penasco, MX:
Can someone explain this phenomenon to me?

The real question is why don't they tie newborns to their trucks?

Each doll adds 10-15HP, depending on the type and manufacturer.
Duh.

Nah, nah. The real question is why do non-Mexicans not tie stuffed animals to their trucks?

I don't know about other parts of the counrty, but in the Southwest you see Mexicans driving around with the name of the Mexican state they come from on the back window. You'll be following some beat up piece of shit down the road and it proudly displays "Michoacan" or "Sinaloa" or "Durango" in giant letters for all to see.
I always wonder if there is some white guy driving around Mexico City with a giant decal on his rear window that reads "WISCONSIN".

Finally an answer.
It was so simple the whole time
"Interviews with half a dozen truckers as well as folklorists, art historians and anthropologists revealed the grille-mounted plush toy to be a product of a tangle of physical circumstance, proximate and indirect influence, ethnic tradition, occupational mindset and Jungian archetype."
hahah got to love this:
"He said: 'Yo, man, I drive a garbage truck. How am I going to get the ladies to look at me?' " Mr. Marbury recalled."
