I have a car in my driveway that I have not used for 4 years. I start it every year or so. I hvae not put air in the tires or gas in the tank. I do have to charge the battery before I start it. So if the van had only been there for for 4-6 years, it's possible. But since the 70s? doubt it. Of course the island does have Polar Bears. And a tall ship in the middle of it (Dude, how does that happen?

).
Oh, and the van had a dead battery, that's why they had to jump start it down the hill. The 8 track was a cool touch. And Cheech Marin as Hurley's dad? Priceless.
Did you notice the checken hitting the ground after the asteroid?
