Drove thru What looked like some shallow water due to the fences on either side of a road. Was playing Dire Straights Down to the Waterline on the stereo. My nephew was hanging out the window to tell me if the water started getting deeper than the center of the wheel hubs. He said "It's" and suddenly the water covered the headlights on the lifted GMC Jimmy and came up to within an inch of the bottom of the windows. The Jimmy bucked againar it's own wave covering and uncovering the cold air intake behide the grill. The dirt road had gone much lower than the fence lines.

When we got out of the water I stopped and we jumps out an ran around the truck excited and yelling. We had made it without swimming. Water was running out of the panels of the truck. A guy came out on the front porch of a farmhouse we were in front of. He yelled, "What is going on?" we yelled that we just made it thru that water. He said, "I tried that in my jeep." and went back in his house. The water stopped running out of the panels, got in, it started, so we drove on listening to Dire Straights the rest of the night.

Took it to an oil change shop the next morning, check all the levels, including diffs, and all they could find was the big air filter was still heavy with water. Put on a new air filter and drove on.

It felt really weird driving along in water up to the windows looking out and sitting lower than the water level in the road, and flooding the fields next to the road.

Went over a few low water bridges with the Cayenne S in 3rd Coast TX, But they were all marked and nothing was more than 12 inches deep. 12 inches being the upper ride height of the air suspension.
