Mate one of my friends had your same problem he started with a rental car that you can pay with one post voted from whales for a week!
Then my advice is to raise a smaller ammount like 500$ to rent the car and all the expenses of the first week! This is much realizable and short term project that suites you better than the long time project of raising 5k $!
You can do it my friend! Consider my words!
Ps: my friend that HAD your same problem is now (2yrs later) driving around uber customers with his own BMW!
