I'd give him a bike.
The
$337,000 that has been donated to date (ends tomorrow, so jump on now) should just about cover the cost of ownership for the next century or so. By that time, he will undoubtedly have a heart attack due to NOT walking 20 miles a day.
If he has been working for $10 per hour for 40 hrs/week for 52 weeks/yr for 10 years. That works out to be about $208,000. This donation is now 1 1/2 times his wages for that entire decade. Not a bad bonanza.
He would be better off investing the money, selling the car, buying a nice bike, and living cheap and retiring.
