Peter Corn

Peter Corn joined MotorBiscuit as an Autos Writer in 2020 and brings his quippiest Southern drawl to our table. Having, in his words, “helped” rebuild his dad’s 1959 MGA as a small child, Peter grew up loving vintage cars and trucks, adding motorcycles and all things 4×4 as he went.

Peter earned a Bachelor of Archeology and Creative Writing from the University of Alabama and has since melded his love of driving with storytelling. His voice, full of pleasantries and witticisms, can be enjoyed in The Gentleman Racer, The Vintagent, Gear Patrol, Iron & Air Magazine, and Classic Car Club Magazine.

Peter is a co-founder of both The Colloquial Magazine and The Fire Escape, the official podcast of The Colloquial. In an effort to increase his abilities in “ramping anything with wheels,” Peter has taken track training from Classic Car Club Manhattan and attended Rally School at Monticello Motor Club, where he was coached by eight-time Performance Rally motorsport champion Chris Duplessis.

On a lucky day, we get to hear Peter tell the story of his first car, a jewel of a 1958 Ford Fairlane, into which he dumped more time and money than made sense, but he has no regrets.

These days, yachts are one of the most common signifiers of extreme wealth; the bigger and flashier the vessel, the better the signal. …

The Royal Enfield Himalayan Might Be the Best Motorcycle for Beginners

Retro is back. Aside from that sentence being a bit of a paradox, cars, motorcycles, and SUVs are leaning heavily on the past. We see the motorcycle market doing extremely well with these retro bikes like the BMW RnineT series and the Ducati Scrambler. But, before it was cool to this, there was Royal Enfield. …
An empty Ford dealership shows that now is not the best time to buy a car. Buying a car right now will be tough.

You Are Buying a Car at the Worst Time; Here’s What to Do

Now is not the time to buy a car. New and used cars alike are scarce and overpriced. As many of us know, our old, raggedy cars don’t care when it’s a good time for us; they’ll die when they damn well feel like it. So, if you find yourself shopping for a car during …
