As the Porsche Club of America says: It’s not the cars, it’s the people. So when we saw a tweet featuring former club president (and super-nice guy) Manny Alban, we paused for a second.

Then we realized that the tweet was being shared by someone who’s not from the automotive scene. Then we saw the gigantic number of shares and likes: thousands upon thousands. Manny was going viral. That tweet posted by his daughter has gone so viral, in fact, that it was just picked up by the BBC.

Well, we’d like to hope that Manny won’t forget us now that he’s internet famous.

Manny could maybe go pro. (Just kidding.) Manny is awesome. When I saw the tweet, I grabbed my wife. She was like, That's Manny on your Twitter.

Man, for some reason my brain interpreted the title as [The Porsche Club] of [America's Former President] instead of [The Porsche Club of America's][Former President], and I was trying to figure out if it was Carter, Bush, Bush, Clinton or Obama.

I can confirm, Manny is awesome. They need more of him in front of the camera, and less of some of the other people that get paraded out on set.

Pay attention to which food section he's shivering in and his ethnicity

He's the incredibly humorous and engaging former PCA president.
