Programmer, my 12" GS Dob fits in my car, so a 10" will fit even better. They aren't all that heavy. You just can't carry them in 1 piece. Carry the base out, then the tube, simple as that.
May I also recommend an EP in the 25 - 32mm area. You can Galaxy hunt with them, and they are great on larger nebs (Orion, Carina, etc).
The 25-32mm EP's also give fantastic vistas of the Milky Way, large open clusters, and the Magellanic Clouds.
