I put mine on the floor between the seats. It can't move much there, especially if I push the front seat back against it.

That's where I put mine too... we are speaking of SMs when travelling aren't we.. I have a Bernina virtuosa 153.. suits me just fine buts it's very heavy for taking to workshops..

The floor in the back seat is usually safest for machines...

You do want it secure, though. Consider that in a 30 mph crash, which is not very fast - not freeway speed - the car stops, but the sewing machine continues moving forward at 30 mph. That seat had better be well-anchored and substantial.
Yup...tank is the right word and it is such a great machine !!! Just hums so nicely !!1
