In the book "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer, after the flash flood, Chris McCandless left behind his prized Datsun, which was very important to him. He abandoned the car because it got stuck in the floodwaters, and he was unable to continue his journey with it. Despite the sentimental value the car held for him, Chris prioritized his safety and survival over material possessions, choosing to continue his adventure on foot rather than risking his life trying to salvage the vehicle. This decision reflects Chris's independent and adventurous spirit, as well as his willingness to embrace the challenges and uncertainties of his journey into the wild.
