Back in 2017 I had that ‘magnetic black’ 370z Nismo, and in said sports car I had what was then (and still) the best car enthusiast dash cam in existence – the Waylens Horizon.
Funny story, just to the right of the Range Rover in that photo, sat these:
Which I now own the Hellcat on the left… Turns out the fellow I bought the car from in 2024 lived in the same building in DTC that I did in 2017. 🙂
Anyway, when I got rid of the Z I also got rid of the Waylens camera, figuring the mind numbingly sedate Murano I traded it in for didn’t really need a track-day dash cam…
And I could always get another one – right?
Nope. January 1, 2021, Waylens dropped their entire consumer business to focus on commercial / fleet hardware.
This means that since I bought the Hellcat I’ve been on the hunt for a sealed, new old-stock Waylens Horizon to put in it – and the other day one popped up on eBay…
So I bought it.
Unfortunately this means I’m back in the shipping arena, which has -predictably – already screwed up… This morning the company in California that sold me the item scheduled shipping via FedEx, and this afternoon I got an email from eBay thanking me for picking it up.
So I get on the horn with eBay to figure out what the sam hell is going on, and it turns out the vibe-coded AI Slop at eBay no longer differentiates between the purchaser picking up the item and the shipper picking up the item. So when FedEx flagged the item as in their possession, the robot at eBay assumed it was me and closed the listing as it was now ‘complete’.
The end result should be the same save that eBay is now pestering me to review the seller / item when the item won’t be here until Thursday – which is four days for FedEx to lose it and / or reduce the camera to a fine aluminum powder…
