Still don't get why they mounted the sign like that.  In a place that's fairly windy like Amarillo, it wouldn't last anytime.

Being Australia, instead of lawyers being all over this, there'll be solicitors!

Dang!  I hope the driver is OK, as it landed on that side of the vehicle.

Were there any passengers?  Doesn't look like any passengers on the right side of the car would've fared too well.
