Get an W8x48 I beam and incase it 60" below grade in concrete with about 3' of concrete above.

If he hits it after this upgrade, the driver will remember where that post is next time.

Oh and add like 100 of those little reflectors up and down your road along with a 8'x10' sign that reads "chad's mailbox is here" with a blinking arrow pointing towards the mailbox.

Had a friend years ago, that worked in the same fab shop I did, at the time and he got tired of his mailbox getting whacked, so he took an 8" I beam and boxed it with 1/4' plate. Then sunk it deep and used a lot of concrete, 8-10 bags, if I remember right, (helped him build it) to fill the hole and also then fill the boxed I beam. Then he used brick to encase it all and imbed his battle ship tough, mailbox in the mix.

Oh did I mention, he built his own mailbox out of 1/4" steel and welded it to the I beam?

He died a few years ago, but that mailbox has been hit several times over the years and it is still standing proud, tho with slightly battered bricks!

I think that dam thing will outlive the house on the property.
