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.

This 2018 Ford Raptor Overland Camper Will Stop You Dead In Your Tracks

The overlanders have been building custom campers and rolling homes for years, but it is only more recently that the general public has taken notice of what they are up to. COVID-19 has made the desire to get out into the wilderness more palatable for those who otherwise wouldn’t go camping or work remotely. As …

Now Is an Excellent Time to Snag a 2021 Dodge Charger For Cheap

There are few more important factors when it comes to buying your next car than price. We are all looking to get the best price we can in hopes we can stretch our budget to get as close as possible to getting our dream car. The Dodge Charger has been a dream car for multiple …

A Connecticut Dealer Just Managed to Sell the Last 2014 Lotus Evora S

The GM of a Connecticut Lotus dealership held onto his last 2014 Lotus Evora S with a pride that eventually turned into a protest. He felt that lowering the price of the obscure British sports car would hurt the brand, so he held on to it until the right person came along. The brand new …

Mansory Just Ruined a Perfectly Good Ford GT40 – Again

 Customizing cars, trucks, and motorcycles is one of the best parts of being a gearhead. Hot rods, choppers, and overlander vehicles have such a long and rich history that when it’s done poorly or just in bad taste, it really sucks. It’s one thing to make a Buick LeSabre uglier by doing nasty-looking mods, but …

The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser Got Obliterated by the 2021 Kia Telluride

There are fancy cars, and there are good cars. Sometimes they cross over but not often. Luxury vehicles usually aren’t meant to last; they are intended to keep the driver comfortable until the next new thing comes out. However, as the Asian car market starts to meld the two more often, more “normal” SUVs are …

Apparently, people are getting famous on TikTok for things other than wrecking their cars. People are now getting famous for cooking? The social media platform, which I still don’t really understand, has somehow started baking and cooking trends that people recreate at home. I don’t know; this is what my wife tells me. Although a …

Daily Driving a NASCAR Racecar Would Be An Absolute Nightmare

If you are into cars at all, you have probably, at least once, dreamed of driving a racecar. Many of us dream of actually becoming a pro racing driver, but even if you haven’t taken the dream that far, you would probably love the opportunity to try it out. Even more so, if someone were …

When was the last time you thought about the Guinness Book of World Records? Well, if you are anything like Porsche, you stay thinking about the records and how to break them. Most EV makers are trying to figure out how to make their cars more sellable. Apparently, while we’ve all been living our lives, …

The 2021 Mazda CX-3 Is a Great SUV That People Hate

Customer satisfaction is a strange and elusive thing. Take the Jeep Wrangler, for instance. It is routinely scored poorly on Consumer Reports, but polls show that its drivers are happy with their purchase. Meanwhile, really reliable and affordable SUVs like the 2021 Mazda CX-3 is found to be a disappointing buy by many of its …

Someone Just Found the Most Bizarre Barn Find Ever in Louisiana

I love covering barn-finds. It is the automotive equivalent of buried pirate treasure; you know you’ll likely never find one yourself, but you know they are out there. Of course, like buried treasure, not all barn-finds were created equal. Just because it’s a barn-find doesn’t mean it’s a vintage, lost, uber-rare, racing legend or prototype …

Last year the Jeep Gladiator had a strong showing with rad throwback graphics packages and bright color schemes, and even some new off-road accessories. This year there is going to be an entirely new kind of concept …

The Toyota GR Yaris Is Great and That Is Really Annoying

The Yaris is very nearly the most boring car ever. Well, maybe not as boring as the Kia Rio, but that’s different. It is plastic-y, ill-equipped, and looks like a doorstop. That is all we have to go on here in America, and that is frustrating. Take a short trip across the big water, and …

Oh, Toyota. We love you so much, but you have routinely broken our hearts time and time again. The 4Runner and Seqiouas are sweet, but they keep getting more out of date, and the prices keep going up. The Supra is simply a BMW Z4 in a different wrapper. Toyota, we need to be dazzled …

The Hyper Rare Aston Martin V8 Volante Zagato Has a Face Only a Mother Could Love

There’s a saying in the south that is a response to someone calling something rare. It goes, “This *blank* is super rare.” “Yeah. Well, the Bubonic plaque is rare too, but no one wants that either.” The point is, rarity alone does not mean valuable. The Aston Martin V8 Volante Zagato is a rare bird …
