  • LISTEN: Ford to Cut Bronco Production
    Nov 22 2024

    In January, Ford announced that it would be cutting back on production of its EV pickup, the F-150 Lightning. But the automaker had a plan to make up some ground: a large group of workers from the Lightning plant would move to plants producing the Ranger and Bronco – two models for which Ford boosted manufacturing targets.

    Now that’s about to change. Crain’s Detroit Business is reporting that Ford will begin scaling back its Bronco production amid rising inventories and lower sales. The move will bring with it the need to relocate some 400 production workers from the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne to other facilities, though reports say none are being laid off.

  • LISTEN: Thieves Make Off With $1 Million in Sammy Hagar & Guy Fieri's Tequila in Wild Heis
    Nov 21 2024

    First reported by People, thieves hijacked a pair of Santo trucks carrying an estimated $1 million in spirits in an incredible caper that continues to unfold as the investigation continues. The cargo included 4,040 cases of tequila, nearly 25,000 bottles. Some bottles included a special aged añejo that took 39 months to produce.

    The trucks had just crossed into Laredo, Texas, and were headed to distributors in California and Pennsylvania. Neither made it and Santo's logistics partner, Johanson, was thrown off by some sophisticated technology.

  • LISTEN: Hackers Steal MLB Player's Lamborghini By Rerouting Delivery
    Nov 20 2024

    Last month, Colorado Rockies third baseman Kris Bryant awaited the imminent delivery of a $300,000 Lamborghini Huracan to his home in Las Vegas … but it never came.

    Bryant, who was having the vehicle transported for the offseason from Denver, where he plays ball, enlisted a transport company to do the job. But what happens next sounds almost too strange to be true.
