This is why I love my Cayenne GTS
Yesterday, around 6 pm, a huge thunderstorm hit our region.
I was on my way home, most of the streets were closed due to high water levels and/or trees and other stuff lying around on the streets, making it almost impossible to drive.
My wife called me in the car to tell me that we had water in the cellar and that hell had broken loose, the house was damaged (roof) and the word was out, that a tornado (no kidding) had hit us.
Driving home was a challenge and shortly before I reached my house, all streets were completely blocked by huge trees lying there. My wife called again, she was desperate, she couldn't reach the fire department and the police told her that they cannot help because it was crazy because of a general disaster alert and and the highest security level (police was only supposed to patrol the area, everything else was left to the fire department and THW...something like FEMA in the US).
So I did the craziest thing, I drove on a pedestrain walk, then over some smaller tree branches and then a steep greenfield up a hill until I reached my house. I put the air suspension on the highest level and everything worked perfect, even in higher water (almost up to the exhaust pipes).
Sorry, these are the only photos I have, taken in a rush with my iPhone but believe me, the other photos would have been spectacular, I cannot believe what I did with the Cayenne, absolutely amazing car.
Without it, my wife with the kids would have been alone for at least another hour and the mess at home would have been much bigger. When I arrived, we started to remove the water from the cellar and to save everything we can, it was a five hour work but we did it. Today, we did the damage assessment and it will be at least 15-20 k EUR, maybe more. Thanks god the insurance already agreed to pay, I sent them the photos but I was really lucky to have the Cayenne yesterday. Many cars were stranded in the water, the engine went off.
That said, I think there will be always a Cayenne in the family...fantastic family AND emergency vehicle. 
Damage in our garden and in our house.... (much more in reality but I just post a couple of photos)
