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 2021 Ford F-150 Is Even Better Than We Expected

I know that you know all the features of the new 2021 Ford F-150. It has been covered to the moon and back, but is it really any good? Like we know, it has a generator, cool engine options, and is pretty strong, but what is it really like to drive? The Ram 1500 and …

Lawsuit Warns That 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Hood Scoops Suck

Dodge has built its name on overpowered, knuckle-dragging monster trucks and muscle cars (see Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat). Even as far back and the late 1960s and early 1970s, the Dodge name was synonymous with power and bravado. Well, that has surely not ceased to be the case with the new crop of American muscle. …

Most of us are committed to taking the necessary precautions, like wearing a mask, social distancing, and keeping our hands clean. Although traveling is a risk, we have shifted from flying to driving, from hotel rooms to camper vans, …

The 2021 Jeep Gladiator Finally Has 1 Advantage Over the Toyota Tundra

Old vehicles are romantic, beautiful, and charming, but the only way anyone spends big money on them is if they are collectible or rare. The 2021 Jeep Gladiator and the 2021 Toyota Tundra are both woefully outdated, crude, and terrible on gas; that sounds like a vintage car to me. The problem is, these Dinosaurs …

The 2021 Mini JCW GP Boogies Past the Honda Civic Type R and Hyundai Veloster N

Limited edition cars are cool and all, but they are only as cool as what makes them limited. Decals, special badging, or colors are cool, don’t get me wrong, but not that cool. The special editions that are really worthwhile are the ones that give the driver a little extra sumpthin’ sumpthin.’ The Mini JCW …

The 2021 Toyota Venza Is Stacked With Useful Features – Unless You’re Tall

The midsize SUV segment is stepping up with piles of new tech, fancier interiors, and loads of safety features. The Mazda CX-9 is a great example of this segment really loading on the features.

Is the 2021 Toyota Venza Just a 2021 Lexus RX For Toyota Money?

As the historically cheaper models get more expensive and more equipped, what does that mean for the luxury models? Nearly every SUV has a certain level of sophistication and comfort these days, except maybe the line of off-road Toyotas; they are still in the dark ages, yet updates are inbound. But everything else is steadily …

We all want campers these days. Overland, Class-A, camper van, or trailer; it doesn’t seem to matter; people just want them. Some of the biggest names in the game are finding new competition from independent one-offs and boutique builders. EarthRoamer has been the last word in overlanding rigs for a few years now, but most …

These things are working because the concept of renting out expensive things that have certain limitations, like a home or apartment, is a brilliant idea. Of course, cars and trucks …
