Will moving my one year old chameleon in a car for 10 minutes add to much stress on him????????????????????????????????????

If you must move the cham, I would do it in a box with no visible areas (no windows, per se)or it's cage. Make sure the cham is in the box with a large stick to hang on to (poke the stick out the sides of the box at an angle (kinda like this: / ) so it doesnt move around. As long as the ride isnt too long, or the cham too small/weak/sick. It should be okay.

It depends on how shy the cham is
But they send em' in the mail all the time
just keep it in a dark box it should be fine

When i had to take my cham to the vet i used a rubbermaid tub with a stick in it, and covered it with a towel. Just make sure that it doesnt get too cold or extreemly hot. Most likely if it is dark it will fall asleep for the ride. My vet is a good half hour away depending on traffic,a nd orion didn't mind.
