John Lloyd is a staff writer at Backfire News, where he writes about the messier, more entertaining side of the car world—celebrity rides, motorsports drama, and whatever weird automotive thing happened to blow up online that week.
He's drawn to the spot where cars meet culture.

He likes giving readers the context behind the headline, usually with a little attitude.

You'll usually find him covering celebrity collections, viral car-culture moments, motorsports headlines, high-performance machines, and the trends moving the resale market.
