So looks like options are, insure the car, see if we can get a group of trusted FABO members to basically pass it off from person to person, which can be done and has been done.
Or
you hop a greyhound bus, ride out, do a quick ball joint swap and swap to 2.76 gears, drive the thing back home
or
Suck up the 5k and rent something or pay some one to go get it...
or
You lose the car and all the money with it.
Them be your options bud. All of them suck to some extent, but that’s the reality of the situation. Not much else we can do to help you until you decide which route you wanna go
