The car I crashed a month ago, as told earlier this thread, was 11 months old. I had 112,000 km (about 70,000 miles) on it.
Luckily you can drive fast here; I need normally about 3 hours 45 mins to drive to our second home, 515 km or 320 miles away. That's with a 15-20 minutes break to fuel and snack at a halfway rest stop.

I would love to drive fast but the highest speed limit I have seen in NC is 70 MPH...I have escaped two speeding tickets with nary a sign of them on my record (Mother is an ADA). Even with family help...I still had to pay attorney fees as punishment. It could be worse...1st ticket was driving 80 in a 55...had to sign a paper at Wendy's ASAP before going to school...the fact that I made really good grades in HS and I offered free tech support to the DA's son was what got me off that one
Germany. Over 65% of "Autobahn" (highway / motorway) still without speed limit. Luckily, this trip from here in Leipzig to Düsseldorf is mostly without limits; 130 kmh (80 mph) limit at both ends about 30-40 km (18-27 miles) and then one place where it is only 100 kmh (62 mph) about 10 km (6 miles). The rest, over 420 km (260 miles) you can legally drive as fast as you can.
When there is a limit, it doesn't cost so much. Last one for me was 28 kmh over the limit of 130, I paid 39 euro and 1 point. The bigger problem is points you get. I have now 11 points. At 15 points I have to do evening classes about traffic rules, at 18 you lose your licence.

Today I dismantled an Xbox 360 without breaking any plastic tabs - can I have a medal please
My friend Google showed me
About the best step by step I've come across here ....
AnandTech: Inside Microsoft's Xbox 360
After all that though there's nothing obvious wrong just keeps giving a generic error 79
Think I'll stick to PC's in future, only agreed to have a look as a favor
