Are you also just asking too much of what most consider their weekend fun car to drive at 30-40mph and enjoy smelling the roses?
Remember also that I believe the first Rubys had the lower power Box engine (others can confirm). So for your needs you at least want the higher power if you go for the heavier Ruby.
Perhaps if you reset your goals for the car then it won't have to live up to quite such expectations and you might just fall in love with the reality as well as the idea. Most of us here did just that.
Only you can make that decision. But I am not aware of anyone having regretted making it. What's the worse that can happen, if you decide in a year that it wasn't for you then resell it and you won't lose your money if you spent it wisely.

Hi Andy. I agree that a couple of test drives may well be the answer. There are no cars anywhere near to me, that is why I traveled 210 miles on Sunday. I will keep checking to see what comes up. Also it is a valid point to own one and if it really doesnt work out then sell it and go a diffent route.
