Chris, the tube for my 8" Dob (with finderscope still attached) will just fit into the boot of my Lancer. I stand the base on the back seat. Another approach which I haven't yet tried is to lay the tube across the back seat, cover part of it with a sheet or other padding, then put the base down over it, on its side, the tube fitting between the side boards of the base.
