i mean come on the old guy was kind and without him, Mcqueen and Mcgraw couldn't escape, and then just give him 30,000????They should give half of the stolen money to that poor old guy

Are you stupid? $30,000 was heaps, he only asked for $20k, all he did is provide them with a lift, they could have just stolen his car anyway.

He seemed happy enough with what he got, after all he only made $5000 the previous year

All I know is, if it was in the book, they would have probably shot him dead instead of sharing anything.

May be giving too much might have ruined his life:p

30K was more than he asked for and most importantly, at the end he was extremely happy:)

For an hour's work? That's ARod type money.
