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.

Leaked 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser Blueprints Should Have You Stoked

The Toyota Land Cruiser is so cool, but honestly, I think many Americans, like myself, get annoyed and confused with the whole back and forth of Land Cruiser availability. Toyota has canceled and reintroduced this dang thing so many times I never know what it’s up to. As of now, Americans don’t know if we …

The GMC Canyon Sales Are Going Crazy

The 2021 GMC Canyon hasn’t been the most popular pickup truck on the market. The bigger GMC Sierra 1500 is a work truck staple, with a long history and a devoted truck customer base. The Canyon doesn’t have that. So, why has the tide suddenly turned on the crazy uptick in GMC Canyon sales over …

Did the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder Just Cheat Off of All Minivans?

The minivan. This car segment has long represented giving up and turning into old folks like our parents. First of all, minivans can be super rad. Secondly, the giant three-row SUV is just the minivan of this current generation. Lots of people want to pretend they dodged the minivan bullet becuase they bought a GMC …

Human beings customize Jeep Wranglers; it’s just what we do.

The Next Mercedes-AMG C63 Will Ditch the V8 For a Hybrid 2.0-Liter 4-Cylinder

The Mercedes-AMG line has become synonymous with V8s. The sound and power expected from these tuned Mercedes almost have to come from a big, overpowered V8 – until now. The next Mercedes-AMG C63 will ditch the monster V8 for a turbo hybrid 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Don’t fret; somehow, the new AMG won’t be losing any power …

This 1969 GMC Pickup Truck is Actually a John Deere Diesel in Disguise

Engine swaps are cool. Just knowing that it is a possibility is what keeps many busted old cars and trucks in the romantic light. We see a crusty old vintage pickup truck and see past the rust and flat tires and see something else, something better. Take this 1969 GMC pickup truck, for instance. It …

The 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 is coming in hot, and by “hot,” I mean expensive. Cars keep getting more and more expensive. However, leave it to the Porsche, the finest go-kart makers in all the land, to run up the price up on the new GT3 a cool $20K. You read that right.  Porsche has …

“Is Mazda owned by Ford?” This is a question that many people don’t even know to ask.
