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.

The Next Ford F-150 Might Be Getting Its Engine Design From Formula 1

If the new batch of Ford F-150s hasn’t added enough to the line with the hybrid powerplant and built-in electric-power generator, then check out this potential new approach to building the next-gen engines. I’m no diesel engine expert, but Ford is, and it is taking a page from the old diesel days and even dipping …

When Did the First Toyota Tundra Come Out?

If pickup trucks are the American car scene’s rulers, what does that make the Toyota Tundra? It has had more ups and downs than a roller coaster. Although we are in a sort of strange downtime for the Toyota 4×4 lineup, why are they still so dang popular and expensive. Well, when you’ve been doing …

Did You Buy a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Sport Yet? ‘Cause You Probably Should

Here at MotorBiscuit, we tend to do a lot of consumer advice by comparing different types of cars and helping the consumer be better armed with information about the current car market. Every so often, I’ll break and just give my full-blown opinion on something people should probably just buy if they are looking in …

The 2021 Lamborghini Urus Might Actually Be a Great SUV

If the 2021 Lamborghini Urus doesn’t prove that every carmaker these days is trying to get an SUV out, I don’t know what does. The SUV market has gotten beyond saturated to the point where you can buy an SUV that can literally do anything. We’ve got everything from futuristic E-SUVs from Rivian and old-school …

Shouldn’t Your Jeep Wrangler Have Been Stolen by Now?

Car theft is on the rise in America. Who knows why crime works in cycles, but that is the way it is. With all this extra car thieving going on, I started to think about one group of car owners (of which I used to be one) in particular; Jeep Wrangler owners.  Why isn’t every …

Porsche 911 GTS Theif Got Tasered Right After Crashing $100K Supercar

The only thing lamer than stealing someone’s car is stealing a car you can’t even drive. That is precisely what happened in this situation where some numbskull stole a high-end performance sportscar in the U.K. earlier this month. The knucklehead in question is a fella named Lee Smythe, and the sports car (supercar) in question …

Ford Finds $100k Surprise in Soon-to-be-Demolished Plant

Have you ever found a free $100k? Let’s narrow the field even further. Ever found $100k that you didn’t need and gave it away? Unless the Founder and former CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, is reading my scrawlings, my guess is that we all will have to say “no” that. Well, that is exactly what …

Tesla Model Y In Autopilot Destroys a Michigan Cop Car

Tesla and or Elon Musk can’t help but stay in the news. I guess it is a part of their marketing strategy, or at least, it sure feels like it. Whether the cars or Elon himself, something funky is always happening over there at Tesla. I imagine as EVs become more integrated into our world, …

Can Your Car Get Towed Just For Being Ugly?

Towing is one of the most annoying things car owners have to deal with. With any luck, we can avoid the tow truck as long as possible, but it is always there and always looking to snatch up unwitting cars and trucks. We know how to avoid the tow trucks for the most part, but …

This Overlanding Land Rover Defender Is the Dream RV – and It’s For Sale

We might as well change our name to “RVBiscuit.” We love writing about camper vans, camper trucks, trailer campers, and really RVs of any kind. As much as we love campers, we might equally love overlanding and 4x4s. Although you can easily spend hundreds of thousands on custom 4×4 camper vans and trucks, if you …

The No. 1 Show In the World on Netflix Is a Car Show

Americans aren’t unfamiliar with the racing, not by a long shot. NASCAR is one of the biggest sports in the United States. However, Americans aren’t very familiar with one of the most popular forms of racing in the entire world, Formula 1. That is until Netflix got involved with the smash-hit original Netflix production about …

The classic economy sedans have left the old days far, far behind. Cheap cars used to be brutally simple and bare bones. Everything was manual; windows, door locks, transmission, these cars even made you tune the radio by hand. It was madness! These days, the cheaper cars, well, aren’t cheap. They are as nice or …
