Most states don't allow the 3 day rule as the resale value of a car immediately drops once driven off of the car lot. If you haven't taken delivery then there is a ray of hope. If you did take the car, then you may have a very, very small chance if you can show that the dealership did not properly advise you of this fact. Please read ALL of your paperwork. Please tell me you did read the fine print.
Based on what very little I know of your situation, your only chance is to go back in and beg for mercy. Explain to them that you shouldn't have been taken advantage of, blah, blah, blah. Being polite and a little crying may be an effective tactic.
Good luck, but I think you just learned one of life's tough lessons. When buying something more than $500, say no at least three times before saying yes........

I think some of us are missing the post by geekybiker which pretty much cleared up any questions anyone should have about this this issue. The link he posted contains an FAQ about New Car Purchases in Oregon.

FAQs About New Car Purchases
Frequently Asked Questions About New Car Purchases
Q:If the dealer can't get the interest rate or other terms I was promised, can I undo the deal even though I took the new car off the lot and left my trade-in with the dealer?
A:Absolutely. You cannot be forced to change the terms of the original deal or be required to sign a new deal.
Q:If I don't like the car I bought this weekend, can't I just return it within three days and get my money back?
A:No! Car buyers do not have this right. Once you sign the paper work, it will be difficult or impossible to undo the deal.
Q:What should I do if I feel like I'm being pressured to make a deal I don't like?
A:Walk away. Tactics such as holding a consumer's keys to keep them from leaving the dealership and "packing" the final deal with expensive add-ons that weren't part of the original negotiations are unlawful.

Since I DO plan on keeping this car for longer than 3 years (length of the lease), then the dealer SAID that I shouldn't worry about going over the mileage. Once the 3 years is up, I can take it to my credit union and have them finance the remaining amount of the loan. (In my paperwork it says for $23000)
OR if I wanted a higher interest rate (current is 3.9%), I could take it to my credit union at any time and refinance it, with possibly lower payments.
Yes, I know I made a mistake but the car is FREAKIN AWESOME!! Put me down all you want, tell me I'm a stupid blonde (which I'm not), tell me I should have a guy go with me next time, or tell me that the deal sucked... ok, I can handle it... like I said, it's all good.
Ya live and learn right? I was more worried about the mileage than the payment. Yes, it will be tough for me for awhile (and I don't need 3 jobs to make the payment, I have a great job that pays well) but I can do this.
It is a BEAUTIFUL car!!! I may be stupid to some of you (or all) but I do have great taste in cars!!

When your lease is up, you can actually trade your lease in. It only would make sense to do this if they will give you more than your buy out, but they will probably give you around 25 or 26k for it. You can take the equity and put it down on a 2010 model.

Yea, it's too bad buying a new car isn't like buying a toaster from Wal-Mart! Try it for a week, if you don't like it bring it back!
If it's any consolation, we made a similar bone-head move back in 1997 with a new Toyota Avalon. Leased it, paid more than it was worth, ended up upside down and over mileage at the end of the lease. We survived though... We ended up negotiating the buy-out at the end of the lease and then traded it for a Camry. We were still a little upside down, but had a new car and a payment that was about the same (we purchased the Camry). Most of all, we learned a valuable lesson, and have never paid MSRP for a new vehicle since, and have always done the research and known the numbers before ever setting foot on the lot!
Leases have changed a lot since then, and I'm told most leases that go through the manufacturer's financial services are no longer negotiable because the dealership can normally re-sell the vehicle for more than the residual, so they prefer to just take them back. But knowing this also gives you an advantage and will allow you to negotiate a trade value that is greater than the residual. The residual on the Camry we just traded was $13K and we negotiated $13,500 which gave us $500 down on the new TL. Enjoy the new car for the next three years knowing that your time is coming, and next time you'll walk away the winner!

To original poster:
Are you sure you bought a Type-S? Not to ask a stupid question but I thought the type-S doesn't come in Royal Blue, only the regular TL. I think Kinetic Blue is the only blue color for the Type-S.
Assuming you did get a Type-S, here is what this cost you if you assume a 5% interest rate and buy at the end of the lease based on your buyout amount you mentioned of $23,000.
Present value of $680 per month for 36 months = $22,689.
Present value of $23,000 to buy the car at end of 3 years = $19,868.
Total in today's dollars = $42,557.
We can ignore the $3,000 down payment you made because this was to payoff the amount owed on the trade-in.
Of course 5% interest is just an assumption (could use 4%, 6%, etc.). Regardless, you probably will have spent $5-$7K more than if you would have bought it with cash at a reasonable price of $36,500 for a Type-S
Not the best financial decision but not the end of the world either. At least you have a great car.

Man f#%k what half of these folks say and enjoy your car. If the payments dont bother you then go ahead and drive that beast. Theres other ways to handle mileage situations once the lease is up. So dont stress yourself.

Go read your paperwork and figure out what your options are. If you get the chance to do over, negotiate the price down $40k for a $35k car and make sure your milage meets your needs.
I'm not going to beat you up for it, you'll be much harder on yourself. :-) Good luck.

Good thing is you showed us the back of the car and we now know not to trust that dealer.
You are not really in that bad of shape. If you can afford the payment you can sell the car at the end of the lease. I bet you can drive the miles you want each year and still sell the car for more than the pay off at lease end. These cars hold the resale value real well.

Alright, I've had the car for a week, I absolutely love it!! (but everyday I tell myself I'm so stupid!!) 
I plan on refinancing the car through my credit union sometime. Right now the interest rate is so low compared to my credit union's interest rate that I think I'm going to keep it where its at for awhile.
I know I messed up. I just figured that since I'm single, have no kids, don't want to buy a house until I'm married then why not spoil myself now?
Anyways, thanks for the advice, critisism, comments, etc. It was hard hearing some of them but it was also good. Just proved to myself that I really messed up!
But like some people have said.... just enjoy the car! It IS a great car. I plan on tinting the windows to about 15-20%. That's all I have plans for.... I like everything else on the car.
So for now I say.....

Sounds like you are happier with your decision today than you were last week.
Like we say in advertising, you had a cas eof cognitive dissonance...most often occurs after the purchase of an expensive item such as an automobile. A consumer who is experiencing cognitive dissonance after his or her purchase may attempt to return the product or may seek positive information about it to justify the choice. If the buyer is unable to justify the purchase, he or she will also be less likely to purchase that brand again. An advertiser of high-priced durable goods has said that half of their advertising is done to reassure consumers that in purchasing their product the right choice was made.
I do have to say that you made a better desision than my idiot coworker. He leased an 2006 3 series BMW (small engine) for $780 per month. He could have bought the car for less than that.

I do have to say that you made a better desision than my idiot coworker. He leased an 2006 3 series BMW (small engine) for $780 per month. He could have bought the car for less than that.

I know I messed up. I just figured that since I'm single, have no kids, don't want to buy a house until I'm married then why not spoil myself now?
Anyways, thanks for the advice, critisism, comments, etc. It was hard hearing some of them but it was also good. Just proved to myself that I really messed up!
But like some people have said.... just enjoy the car! It IS a great car. I plan on tinting the windows to about 15-20%. That's all I have plans for.... I like everything else on the car.
So for now I say.....

Ok, it is Royal Blue Pearl or Kinetic Blue?? My Acura Ownerlink webpage says kinetic blue but the tag on my keychain when I bought the car said royal blue pearl and I believe the dealer also said royal blue pearl. I did see 2 different blues at the dealership when I was there.
Doesn't it have the color on the inside part of the door?
Well, whatever color it is... is really is pretty!

You're salesperson should have given you the Window sticker when you took delivery (or they put it in your glove box), that will list the exterior color on the next to where the VIN is listed. Also, the door will have a color code, but you need to know the codes to determine it from that. If I remember correctly, the Type S is offered in Kinetic Blue, the regular TL comes in Royal Blue Pearl.
