I'd like to get into kayaking and figure my first kayak should fit in my car. But I'm not sure if it makes sense to get a short whitewater kayak for to learn on.

Yes, it is a Jackson Rockstar, large. First gen, which is a bit longer than the current models. It is a bit of a dance to get in, and of course paddling buddies will hate you because you can't shuttle, but for park and play it works. I also stuck my liquid logic jefe in the back and let it stick out a few feet with the trunk tied down.

Off topic now, for a first kayak I would not get the rockstar. Too hard to roll. If you definitely want to get into playboating, I'd start you out on the allstar. If you only want river running and some play, take a look at the FUN (which will not fit inside the car...).
