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.

Land Rover Who? These Restomod Mercedes G-Wagens Destroy Defenders

The Land Rover Defender is the great-granddad of overlanding. Over the last couple of decades, builders have taken the Defender from rough-neck mud dog to a tweed jacketed, New England vacation-house truck. We have seen an excess of six-figure, leather-clad, halogen headlight, LS-swapped off-road monsters who only ever touch dirt for a posed picture in …

KOA Predicts RV Craze Could Cause Shortages Through Winter

The COVID-19 Pandemic has given us many flash-in-the-pan trendy activities to occupy ourselves during the quarantine. Most of these trends helped keep us sane but quickly faded away like baking bread, “Tiger King,” and home gym building. The automotive world, in general, has had to shift and adapt to help out and stay occupied. One …

The 2020 Ford Mustang Doesn’t Have to Be Good to Be Loved

Some cars are special. Certain models have been so deeply locked into the world that how good they actually are matters far less than what they are. Within the off-road world, the Land Rover Defender will always be heralded as one of the all-time greats, regardless of its actual greatness. The Lamborghini Countach is one …

BMW Finally Rolled Back One of Its Most Hated Features

The motoring community has accepted BMW into their hearts as one of the most consistently exciting and driver-focused car makers in the world. Rear-wheel drive, (sometimes) manual transmissions, and plenty of power are the aspects BMW has built its name on. The new 2021 BMW lineup should make some buyers a little happier.

This Custom 1978 Toyota Chinook Is the Coolest Camper You Have Ever Seen

There are many killer campers out in the world these days. The custom camper scene has blown up into military-grade ballistic hulls, ground-penetrating radar, and all other sorts of over-built gadgetry. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of those sorts of things, and the super-tough monster rigs are awesome, but sometimes the simplicity of …

Speeding; the perfect crime. Well, that’s not true at all. But it is probably the crime we all do the most. Driving is fun. Driving fast is also fun. It turns out we aren’t allowed to drive as fast as we want, and if we do, we get one of the least fun pieces of …
