The Biographies: The Story of Dakota.

Jerome Tempest Lexington, or "Dakota" as he was more commonly referred to, was born May 1st 1978 in Cape Cod, Massachusets to Veronique Hayes-Lexington and Vince Lexington. "Jerome", meaning "of holy name" in Latin, was chosen by his grandmother, Melissa Hayes, who had lost her son Jerome 2 days after he was born to a stomach infection, and wanted the memory to live on. "Tempest", meaning "violent storm" in English, was chosen by his father, to commemorate the significant storm which had almost torn the roof off of the family's house during his birth. Jerome had a sister named Marissa who ran away when he turned 5. After her leave, Veronique and Vince decided to move Jerome to Albany, where he would be homeschooled and not much else. He lived a sheltered life all the way until he turned 22, and then he met James.

James was a year younger than Jerome. They met in a nightly college course for Massage therapists which spanned a year of training and would often talk after class. They became best friends and began racing together. However, when he turned 26, he died unexpectedly and what would've been a great and meaningful life was ruined.

"Dakota" loved engines above everything. A serious "gearhead", he would sift through machine books for hours, trying to memorize dimensions until finally, he came up with an engine that could work efficiently off of water and gasoline. Every piece of the engine was handmade, hand cut, and took almost a year to complete. His dream was to design engines for Dodge, but he didn't live long enough to see that dream through, and the prints to the engine have been hidden in a heavily locked safe so that they cannot be stolen or copied.

Overall, Dakota was one of the last genuinely nice people left in the world. He was polite, friendly, and intelligent, not to mention strong and witty. His legacy lives on through his engines and his truck designs, but no one could ever hold a match to the person he was, and no engine or truck will ever do him the justice he deserves.
