My Honda Prelude beats up your grand marquis! We 4-wheeled this thing harder than most people do in their off road rigs... The roof is like that because I ran it over with my jeep on 38s...so we cut the roof off, and kept on truckin...

It is amazing what a car or 2wd truck can do offroad if you don't care.
I used an 81 chevy to clear a trail once. Widened it a bit too.
We then used the bed as target practice (7.62x39 goes straight through)
After the transmission went out (it took four years of this abuse) the engine was put into a '67 chevy truck street rod.
No beer involoved in this at all

I can't vouch for his car, but in my case - None of those were involved! I can state with certainty though, that I have never, ever had so much fun, or laughed so hard in one night - EVER. We started to beat on it about 5pm, and she was finally killed by 6am. Within the first 30min, the exhaust fell off of it, so the only thing on it was the manifold. It seems exhaust doesn't like to be drug over trees and rocks??? My sides hurt like hell the next day from laughing so hard.
