Most of the time, those tools cannot understand the theme and context of the text, unless they've been specifically programmed to do so. Often times, you'll get translations which make native speakers smile or outright laugh at you. It is not that the translation was wrong (which may also happen), but the wording of the translation which makes it sound silly. Also in some languages, it is necessary to say something in a completely different manner to get the the point across, and in that respect, the automatic translation tools will shoot your foot off.

They are fairly accurate and especially when you discuss or post scientific terms which are hard to translate.

The music and the editing and camera work worked perfectly, it was just hilarious. My 1994 Saturn got stolen too, in August of 07, not sure why, none of the power windows worked, the acceleration would lag, and it would drive as if the gas pedal was stuck down sometimes, it was scary.

Great little car for parking in SF and fitting in the tiniest of garages. Also holds a lot; I think I crammed in 500 boxes of Girl Scout cookies. I really love being able to haul big car/van/SUV stuff in a small footprint. City mileage isn't great; I go maybe 220 miles on a tank if it is strictly stop & go during rush hour. But any distance at all on the freeway results in much, much better mileage. The seat/steering wheel angle has been improved, which is my biggest gripe about my year's model. It also doesn't ride like a luxury or mid-size car, but then, one doesn't really expect that at its price point. Conclusion: Car is a great value and I'd buy it again, esp. with the new seat/steering wheel configuration. I bought a Fit a year ago.

The parts are in high demand so they are easy to shake.. Yeah for years Integra’s have been one of the most stolen cars in the US, especially in California.
