A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

My family had two volvos that behaved like this. One was an '81 Volvo 240 DL manual, and the other was a '92 Volvo 740 automatic. Both of them could get up to highway speed noticeably faster if you turned off the A/C. (My dad used to say they'd "do 0 to 60 on a leisurely afternoon.") There's some chance that A/C was aftermarket on the '81, so maybe that's a factor? But the '92 did it too, and that was definitely stock.
I can believe it, i was talking about cars made this century. The care from the 1900's were something else.
