The Fusca is the Brazilian name for the Volkswagen Beetle, a car deeply tied to everyday life in Brazil for decades and still loved as a cheap, simple classic. Online, the phrase assim que meu fusca anda became a punchline for videos of old cars coughing, shaking and crawling along while their owners act proud. It circulates in Brazilian meme edits and WhatsApp groups as a shorthand for anything old, noisy and stubbornly alive, which is why it works far beyond actual Beetle owners.
