Default Which color should i get?

lookin to buy my Z here pretty soon but cant decide what color to go with, either the LeMans Sunset Metallic or the Daytona Blue Metallic. I live in San Antonio, TX, so there is some dirt and dust flying around here but not as much as say Arizona or Nevada(desert states), so the color may have some advantages that are not thought of at first. any input on this?

thanks,
Kevin

edit::Also from experience, what year between '03-'06 Track Ed. would be the most mechanically sound?(least worst reported problems)

I have lived in San Antonio during July and August. Its like hell. A light color (white) will be cooler than one that is dark (black).

Answer is the color that gets your blood pumpin' the most. I would not let dust etc be a reason for deciding.

I'd get an 04 or 05.

I'm deffinately going with one of those two colors, not black or white. so now its either between '04 or '05. I also dont want the more popular color so that I can stant out more which would lean me toward the LeMans Sunset, but the Daytona Metallic is just pure SEXY!! so i dont really know which is why i ask these questions.

I'm partial to DB, but if I could have another color (whilst keeping my DB) I'd get a Solar Orange!
