    YEAR V

    Last Saturday, we celebrated Joey Lee’s fifth year of running The Chronicles. If you never heard of his site then you probably don’t know what porn is either. In which case I suggest to check out his site stickydiljoe.com and xvideos.com. I’m a big fan boy of Joey’s work because he always has really good content on his site and gets great coverage at every automotive event. So, if you love cars and need a good read after being on xvideos his site is the place to go. Vinh, Keith and I showed at Year V with some of the Vegas guys, it was pretty exciting because Vinh and Chivas who both had to rebuild their engines would be debuting their cars at Year V.
