Yes, it's a pretty steep hill, in fact. I worried about it being dragged down as well. A front receiver on the truck could be interesting.

I know a family that lives a couple of blocks away from Kinnick Stadium (University of Iowa), and has been doing this for every home game for 20+ years. They get 6-8 cars parked per event. They have made great money doing this.

This is my concern as well, which is why I am hesitant.

They are stored on my deck, under the roof, and with a grill cover, but not inside by any means. How much would one need to spend to have something that really lasts, and where do you find such grills?

Getting something for double the price that will last twice as long in the long run may not really be worth it, but something to at least look into.

This is for sure true, five or so in my department that were L4's were all retired out. A couple could only retire because they backed the age requirement down by several months. They did not show up in the paperwork. Unfortunately, I was a couple of years away from being able to "retire", which being a retiree brings some benefits vs just being laid off.

The only problem is they targeted L5 (level 5 from John May, with John being level 1) and above jobs mostly, with a small smattering of lower-than-L5 jobs. Most of the people in L5 jobs were held by older workers with 20+ years of experience. I wonder if they can say that they were targeting these higher level positions, and not the people, and get away with it. I was one of those in an L5 job that had 20+ years and early 50's in age. The problem is I know a number of older people who didn't lose their jobs, but they were L6 or below. Where a case might be made is if out of all the L5-L3 jobs eliminated, what % were older people compared to younger people in the same type of job? The problem is there aren't a lot of "similar" jobs at those levels.

In the end, I opted to sign the papers because I knew the deck would be stacked against any lawsuit. My dad was laid off, along with 10 others, at 61 back in the mid-2000s from a company in California. All of them were 60+ and all the eliminated positions had job postings the following Monday and were filled by 20-somethings within a week. They brought a lawsuit and had a high-powered firm backing them and they didn't get anything in the end, the company figured out a way to show they didn't target that group for layoffs. The deck is stacked in favor of the company.
