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.

Should I Have Bought a 2015 Mini Countryman During a Pandemic?

The C8 Corvette is Pandora’s Box and Ares Design Opened It

The C8 Corvette was big news when it dropped last year. THE American sports car going from the beefy front-engined tire-eater to a European-looking mid-engined supercar almost broke the poor old Corvette folks. Grown men and women were tripping over themselves to buy the last front-engined Corvette for 10 times more than MSRP – It …

The 2020 Ford Ranger Is the Cheapest New Truck for a Reason

“Cheap” doesn’t always mean “worst.” Some things are simple and honest and thusly, cheap. Often, what makes a vehicle expensive is a long list of options, expensive materials, and piles of performance or engineering feats. The 2020 Ford Ranger doesn’t have any of these things.  Kelly Blue Book made a list of the cheapest pickup …

Ferrari Refuses to Go Totally Electric, for Better or Worse

That last point, in particular, might be why Ferrari is vowing never to go full-electric.  Of course, …
