How can you honestly compare a brand new Ford Edge to an 8/9 year old Monte? It's apples and oranges in almost every aspect.

Exactly. Just look at Mustangs and Camaros years ago. The V8 cars used to have around 200 hp, now the V6 models have 300.

LoL `Lou (Taz),

Monte Carlo (JG)-Ford`Edge-GTO-Mazda `Mike can ?
He knows things that nobody else knows 4-Sure...Just ask him & he will tell ya LOL

One must study the differences between a apple & a orange to know the results/answers in Real Life Testing 4-Real
I hope someday to understand things I just don't understand.

Thanks everyone for the funnies...That was not the intent of this thread, but I've sure got many laughs already from reading/viewing it...

Just wait, Mike is going to post a vid & prove it 2 everyone...
He will be driving the Apple Colored `Edge against a Blown Monte...I can't wait to see it 4-Sure

OK, whose next to increase the activity of this thread & on the MCF ?


Yes, it's~> you reading this now...We shall again wait to read/see & enjoy

It's easy to compare apples and oranges, and they are remarkably similar in many ways.

Although they may look and feel very different, the two fruits have a similar size and weight, and their juices have a similar caloric content and levels of vitamin C.

Hi `Member's, I bet when you clicked this thread
that you never thought you would learn so much
about fruits from
Professor Mod `Mike



I find it just amaz'in what a member can learn on
a automotive forum 4-Sure. I learn something
useful & useless everyday online on the MCF
I do like apple's & oranges, but I really love melons.

I seen this 7 sec `vid on public TV & it is for
Mature audiences.
Warning
Please do not click below `if you are not a mature adult, and don't like Melons


Click & click again `if it doesn't work
ps. Click at your own risk.
Don't let anyone in the room seeing U click above

(I think I seen the above on America Got Talent) LoL
Sorry , I hope no one was offended 4 I just seek only smiles 's


This has been another
Space/Jack

Honestly, I didn't know that apples and oranges had any similarities, other than both being fruit.
