    Interestingly this comment was posted 6/8/11 to an ebay ad for car 885999. Proving this car exists, likely in the US as it was a US ebay auction but unknown.

    "I own VIN 885500, which is an all original car, and is definitely not a flat floor car; your car was most likely not equipped with a flat floor either. Regards, Allyn"

    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
