Rudy was a great family man, selfless, religious, generous and hard working..gone too soon, may he rest in peace. I just talked to him a month ago, live life to the fullest guys, we never know when our time will come
Rip Rudy. Never met the guy but told my colleagues about this legend who had just about every Porsche 993 color. Then pointed them to Rennlist pictures and videos. May you rest in perfect peace. You brought our Porsche community a lot closer.
Incredible loss for his family , the Porsche community and the hobby didn't know him but was enthralled by his collection and willingness to help others ...RIP

Man this one hit me hard. Rudy was such a great dude. We talked on IG about his 993 Turbo S mexico blue that he sold and I would kid him that he let the big one get away. He wanted that one back big time. I was close to seeing his collection when I visited Houston in 2018 but the timing didn't work out. Please, please, please my religious friends, go get vaccinated. God wants you here on earth doing good deeds. There's no rush to heaven.
Please join us as we celebrate the life of Rudy Mancinas. He would love for everyone to gather in his honor. So we would ask that you would put on your best kicks and come join us in celebrating the life of Mr.993.

So many, many stories about Rudy doing good in the Porsche community. Here's the detail of one:
Got my 1st 993 (NB) from a long time PCA member in CA in 2012 which checked all boxes except it came w/ chromed Cup IIs. Nope, wheels themselves were fine but chromed on a 993, over my dead body.
Didn't know squat about Porsche at the time, still don't know much, but knew enough that 993s were 'special'.
Wanted a set of Turbo Twists, so started a request around the PCar circles including here on Rennlist.
Opo replied and said he had one, and cautioned me to not simply take any Twists offered because NBs can't use those intended for WB's.
OK, learned something off the bet.
Showed me some pics of his garage, it was stacked 2 deep and up w/ 993s. That was before Rudy built his current car barn. I quizzed him how come he had so many, and would never forget his reply: "I collect 993s, I know, I'm sick...". LOL.
Agreed on price, it was more than fair what he asked for.
You can imagine me being a newbie meeting someone on a chatroom I just joined, and about to send hundreds of $$ to a virtual unknown, trying to ensure he wasn't some sort of a scam.
Know what? Before I even started figuring out how to hand him the funds, he already sent me the UPS tracking number and said the wheels were on their way. And I could pay him at my convenience.
Ladies and Gentlemen, that's Rudy.
And yes, that's my 1st baby below wearing Opo's Twists.
RIP. Rudy, the loss was mine for not getting to know you better!!
Rudy's collection and videos were instrumental in jumpstarting my interest in 993's.
Wishing you Blue Turquoise skies and Speed Yellow Sunsets, my friend. RIP.
