"Brooklyn Residents' Response to Ford F-150 Stockpile at Michigan International Speedway"

Brooklyn residents are puzzled by the sight of a large stockpile of Ford F-150 trucks at the Michigan International Speedway, speculating that it may be due to overstock, chip shortages, or high prices. Ford has previously stockpiled pickups at other locations while awaiting parts, and although the speedway is providing space for the inventory, Ford will need to clear out the trucks ahead of upcoming events. The reason for the stockpile remains unclear, but residents expect the trucks to be at dealerships soon.

Hyundai and Kia owners struggle to replace stolen car parts.

A sharp rise in car thefts has led to a shortage of parts for stolen Hyundais and Kias, causing some insurance companies to total the cars instead of repairing them. The specific parts being replaced, such as ignition lock cylinders, have overwhelmed Hyundai's parts supply, with some dealerships receiving up to six calls per day for replacement parts. The shortage has led to some body shops refusing to work on stolen Hyundais and Kias, while others have resorted to cannibalizing used parts. Hyundai expects the parts shortage to level out in the coming months.
