More than a decade ago. Using a 1st gen pajero. Nasa headlights na ang tubig. Tyres were larger than stock pero konti lang naman inangat nito. Now since puro sedan na, naghihintay na lang mawala muna ang baha

Deepest was probably yesternight while going down from c5-kalayaan elevated u-turn. Medyo malalim ng onti sa gutter deep na flood due to sudden downpour of rain and there weren't enough holes in the drainage system to absorb the water. Elevated din ang pulse rate ko that time. -_-
the waters were past my floorpan. and yes.. i stalled... had to have her pushed to higher land. . went back the next morning to clean the wet spark plugs. nag-start naman.

Couple of months ago on my way home during heavy rains. Water was at my avanzas front bumper level and got scared and tried to speed up. Got through ok but found out i lost my new front plate later. Good thing a trike driver found it and manage to return it to me for a ransom. Will be a lot more careful now with floods.
Noong wala pa yung bago at mataas na Tumana bridge sa Marikina, ang tulay doon eh mababa lang at walang railings. Mitsubishi Lancer itlog pa ang kotse ko noon. Twice or thrice na yata ako nakadaan doon na rumaragasa yung tubig ng ilog sa tulay. Mga twice yata eh papasok ako ng trabaho. Mapapasubo ka talaga kasi marami kang kasunod at uudyukan ka ng mga tulak boys na "Kaya yan, Sir". Syempre kapag tumirik itutulak ka nila for a fee. Once naman coming from the other side, napilitan na rin kasi yung pinanggalingan mo na subdivision eh me curfew at di ka na makakabalik. Watching the news that night, me inanod daw pala na jeep just a few hours before me.
Deepest for me would be along tomas mapua during one of the habagats. Half tire deep but feels more than that because of stupid trucks. Buti di tumirik.
Sa may malabon fish port,our Mitsubishi adventure, nasa hood na ung tubig buti na lang puno kami(9 persons) kase feeling ko kung ako lang lulutang sya.I turned the AC off pala.tas ung middle row may part na basa ung carpet :-(
In between the main mall structure & the multi-level car park of sm city north edsa. It was stop-and-go traffic pa naman and we were hearing and feeling the sloshing of the flood water underneath the car.
Buti na lang matibay talaga iyong ek ko na iyon. The car never failed me til the day i let it go

If anyone is familiar with Tumana in Marikina, to cross the river from Tumana to Loyola Grand Villa you have to cross a low lying bridge before, a few years back. Marami na rin nahulog na mga sasakyan doon dahil tinangay ng agos ng tubig na sumasampa sa tulay. One time, just after I made it past LGV at about curfew time (nagsasara gate ng LGV ng 10pm dati), overflowing na naman ang tulay ng Tumana. No choice since curfew na nga at the back of me, so I had to grit my teeth and ford the raging water on the bridge. What I had then was my Mitsubishi Lancer EL, at yung tubig sumasampa na sa hood ng sasakyan. May nauuna kasing jeep at yung wake nya adds to the apparent depth of the water. It survived without an incident, but sadly had to meet its demise in Typhoon Ondoy.![]()

Nissan Sentra '92 model, Mayapis St. Drove thru waist deep flood, with a Pajero in front. Was thoroughly scared when the Pajero stopped midway, my Sentra waded thru successfully though. Only damage was my muffler. Hole rusted thru.
Intake at the back of the headlight must have helped. Will never do it again though. Hahaha!
Submerged under muddy floodwaters your suspension system, brake system, tie rods, etc. etc. will be filled with water and suspended soil which when it dries becomes a dusty, sand like material which is extremely abrasive and will cause the early demise of all the lower body systems of your car.
Hindi pa kasali ang corrosive action ng water itself. Actually madali matangal water. It's the soil that will make it's way into various systems of your car thats a troublemaker.
