'10 Camaro SS

This is the 2012 Hot Wheels '10 Camaro SS 131/247 Police detailing. It is 1/10 from the HW City Works set.

'10 Camaro SS Treasure Hunt

This is the '10 Camaro SS (017/250) from the 2013 Hot Wheels series. This year Hot Wheels changed the format of the Treasure Hunts. No longer are they noticeable from a green stripe down the side. Instead there is a small circle tampo with a flame, seen here just above and to the left of the front wheel.

I don't usually wind up with any Treasure Hunts since they were so easy to spot. I'm glad they made the change because I really wanted to find this car.

Swagbucks

Along the same lines as using Bing Rewards, you can add SwagBucks to your repertoire. Though not as automatic as Bing at awarding credits it's still fairly simple. Occasionally a search will net a few 'swagbucks'. They also provide daily bonus ways to get bucks, from watching a videos to looking for secret codes on the Facebook page or playing games. If you keep an eye on your Inbox you'll find a couple 2SB videos to watch each day. Watching Videos is the most predictable way to get points. You get 3SB for each 10 videos you watch, or at least the first ~45 seconds worth. There is a limit of 150SB a day for videos.

There is a much wider variety of stuff to redeem the bucks for. There are lots of gift cards for all the places you would expect and sweepstakes to enter, as well as more physical things like stickers, bottle openers, DVDs to electronics and jewelry if you're willing to save that long.

I haven't been very consistent in using SwagBucks. Even still, I've earned 5 $5 Amazon gift cards this year. If you want money to spend like I do, I recommend getting the $5 Amazon gift cards. At 450SB / $5 (90SB/$1) it's the best deal. Normal gift cards are 500SB / $5 (100SB/$1). You are limited to 5 of each particular reward per month. That's OK for me since I don't rack them up any faster than that.

The crummier one was in a cross walk. The less crummy, in line for concessions at The Hobbit.

ELBC, Part 6

I was beginning to think I would get out of South Korea without finding and loose change. I think there is generally someone cleaning and that's why I wasn't able to find any.
