My Vantage color is new to me

You have to laugh at some of life's episodes. Two years ago I ordered a new Xenon Gray Vantage. I picked the color off of a chart never having seen it in person. The dealer suggested sky blue interior stitching as he said the car in that color has a bluish cast in the sun.

I got the car thinking the gray looked darker and didn’t quite connect with the blue stitching.

‘Yesterday I had one of two eyes operated on to remove cataracts that had evolved over time that I was not aware of. Looking at my car a day later it is a much brighter grey and has a bluish
tint in the sun. Will wonders never cease I feel as though I have a new car.

Great Story! I'm probably not that far from similar experiences as it comes with age. If I get that surgery I wonder what a whole lotta things will look like....hahaaa...

Buddy had the same surgery to first eye like a week ago. Everything is more vivid.

Do you like the color more or less now?

Liking the color more. I can see the metallic sparkle in the sun better. Soon that I waited so long to have the procedures.
