Just make sure you're carrying the box with the graphics card facing up and not down. You should be fine.

Keep it on it's side the the GPU and CPU cooler don't do any flexing of the motherboard. Really only a problem with bigger cards and coolers, but good practice regardless.

 

Other than that just keep it from shifting around and bumping into things. If you can get a seat belt around it that should do.

I have put it in my trunk but with an old ruined quilt keeping it cozy

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

As long as you have away to strap it down you should be fine.

NO way to strap it down, it may move around quite a bit, should I just put it next to me then?

So long as it isn't sliding around it should be fine. I'd maybe rest it on something soft though. Bouncing is just as bad as sliding around and bumping.

 

If you've got some tie downs in your trunk and a blanket or two you can put underneath your should be good.

 

I like the backseat because you don't need to bring your own cushion.

passenger seat or backseat using a seat belt always worked for me.

you could tie it down I guess to the hinges of your trunk :P I'd leave it in the trunk for safety :D
