Is the bag itself water proof? that is, if i fill it up, roll the top down and seal it, could i just toss it in my car without worrying about it leaking? If it was full and rolled on its side or upside down would it leak?

I would caution you from doing this. All roll-top closer bags are meant to keep water out, not keep the water inside from leaking out. No roll-top closer is completely waterproof! If you fill it up and throw it inside your car, you will have a big wetspot where it lies. I would recommend the MSR 10L Dromedary Bag if you want something that will not leak sitting in you car. It's made from 1000D Cordura (super durable), can be converted to a camp shower if needed and also has a Spigot Cap (on-off valve) available for using in a base camp situation. This I would be completely ok throwing in the car situation in any way and not worry about it leaking. Unfortunately it's not as big as the MSR PackShower, but it also won't leak.
