Fahrenheit
Originally from Ontario, Canada, now in Dallas, Texas, Johny Siamro has come a long way. This 2007 Volkswagen Fahrenheit has been in the making since August 2012.
Starting out as a budget car in the hands of a high school kid, upgrading only with secondhand parts, Johny relied on the style and upgrades of others for the build he had in mind. Despite the set back of limited funding, Johny still managed to make it to the 2013 Wekfest show, slammed on bags. Not too shabby for a high school senior!
Growing up with an admiration of Lamborghinis, Johny always dreamed of owning a showstopper. He searched for the right ride and finally found the Fahrenheit. For 5 years, his love for the vehicle grew as he dreamed of owning one in bright orange paint and, finally, he purchased his dream car, knowing there were only 1199 others like it. Johny’s love for the vehicle was too much to hold in because of the rarity of the vehicle and dreams he had for the ride. The day the purchase was made is one he will never forget, as his father introduced him to his dream car and allowed his vision to begin to come to life….only after telling him he would be making the payments! Johny didn’t mind though; he sat in the garage, inside his dream car at least 12 different times the night he brought it home, and that was only the start.
“It is by far the greatest thing I have ever owned and, looking back today, it really did start my addiction to Fahrenheits.”
Today, Johny now owns more Fahrenheits than anyone else in the world - a #1018, #922, and his girlfriends #392 – all because his dad made his dream possible.
Focusing on uniqueness, Johny often ignored the input of others and kept his build to what would please him and inspired by the Stance scene. Johny’s Fahrenheit is still not a finished piece, as his vision continues to run with ideas and creativity. In addition to the limitation of his vision never being fully satisfied, Johny’s budget often produces more creativity than he imagined; to this day, he has never bought a brand new part. Websites used to feed his creativity are VwVortex and DfwEuros, as well as sites like Craigslist.
Johny’s vision will be taking his Fahrenheit to a finished exterior and new paint (still in Orange), but upgrading to wider rear fenders and wider front to run more aggressive wheels. In addition to completing his vision for his own Fahrenheit, Johny is also working on his girlfriend's Fahrenheit, currently getting bags installed, so they can sit pretty together at SoWo in 2014. Johny’s idea of a hot date? Cutting parts to get lower and eating ramen noodles and hot dogs with his girlfriend; all worth it to a girl standing by a visionary’s side.
“It’s worth it in the end when I get to walk away from my car and look back at what I've achieved so far.”
Johny would like to thank David Eerikainen for being an Amazing Photographer; his Mom and Dad for buying the steepest driveway in the neighborhood and forcing him to go bags; and his girlfriend, Amanda Morton, for supporting his addiction the past 4 years and the many that will come.
