May Pull the Trigger on a New R3 Tomorrow...Yikes!!

Now the question is red or blue. Gotta be honest I'm kind of leaning toward red. Just because it's more of a "classic" sports car color, and I'm afraid the blue might start looking out of date in 2 or 3 years. I'm also afraid the blue may be a little too "Fast & Furious" looking at least for me. On the other hand the red attracts cops like sharks to blood in the water. Aargh I hate decisions like this!

Feel free to throw thoughts at me.

Both are awesome colors. However I too was afraid of the "Hot red sport car cop magnet" idea, but after 3 years of ownership I've never been bothered and I've traveled through 4 different states.

Don't expect any mods to be available as sales are too low to justify the cost.

Please don't take that as an insult. I love the blue. Honestly I would be happy with either one.

Funny thing is I actually called a couple of Canadian dealers, but it wouldn't be worth the hassle.
