Samsung Galaxy S4 SHV-E300S unboxing1

Everyone knows that if you want a Samsung Galaxy S4 right now, you either have to pick the Octa-core Exynos 5 version on 3G (GT-i9500); or the Snapdragon 600 quadcore on 4G LTE (GT-i9505). Even Mr. Shin said so himself.

[XBOX 360] Guide to getting Unicorn cars without losing money, tunes, designs and cars on Forza Motorsport 4

It is quite surprising that even after a year and a half from Forza Motorsport 4's inception, I still hear questions on how to obtain the Unicorn cars from the Forza Motorsport 3 VIP Pack loyalty achievement, but without having to lose the hard earned money and cars.  A month or so after I started playing on Forza Motorsport 4, I had the same questions, so I tried and tested a few methods and came up with a solution myself, from which I posted a tutorial on how to do it, and here I would like to re-post it for anyone who might find this useful:
