Just wrap the leaves real good to protect from the wind or cut them off completely except the emerger, and shove it in trunk. It'll hang out a bit, but just put a red rag on the end, and tie the trunk down. Wrap a bath towel around the p-stem where the edge of the trunklid hits it and it rests on the edge of the trunk. The corm weight will keep it weighted to the front... no fear of losing it out the back. If you are worried, just tie it to the inside of the trunk. It's even easier if your back seats fold down like my DW's Toyota Corrolla with some of the corm up into the backseat area. Once on the freeway, travel a little slower. It'll give you time to think about all the possible places to put it when you get it home!
I have transported many banana plants on my motorcycle! Sure, they weren't 7 feet tall, but they did ride ok and bounced right back when I got them home. I made an 85 mile trip with my CA Gold and several trips home from home depot. I also got my Manzano and Zebrina from JoeReal and brought them home that way. I got the strangest looks, but I have a beautiful Manzano for my troubles!
Worst case senario...hack the top few feet off of it...
