About Cory Fourniquet

Cory's love for cars started at age 9, during a big move that changed everything — except his new obsession with a certain green Camaro. That spark turned into years of research (in a pre-Google world!) and eventually a dream realized when he bought his own anniversary edition Camaro. After a career in data analysis, he shifted gears (pun intended) to pursue his true passion: helping others discover what makes a vehicle special. Now, as an award-winning automotive journalist and Past President of the Texas Auto Writers Association, Cory brings expert insight and enthusiasm to GT: Garage Talk — sharing car reviews, stories from industry changemakers, and content that helps real people find the right ride. Whether it's horsepower or how many car seats fit in the back, Cory's here to break it all down.
