What's up with John Schneider?

[Mr70]

About a year ago,just before his eBay ad,John Schneider was a guest on WGN news here.
The reporter,Dean Richards,was given permission to jump in the drivers seat ala Bo Duke style of Johns personal General Lee,after watching John do it himself.
He got a running start,with John watching,and ran up to the drivers side rear window,where he reached his arm out & flung his lower torso into the seat...It wasn't very graceful for the middle aged portly reporter and he never made it all the way in.
But he forgot he had his portable microphone pocketpack on,and put one Major dent/scratch in the cars rear C pilar deck area there.You could hear a metallic pound on camera..
The reporter was embarassed to say the least,as it was live,and John was clearly upset.
He stood there silent rubbing it with his hand,saying HOLYSH**.
They went to commercial,and when they came back,John was nowhere in sight.
The reporter said he would pay for the damage.
2 weeks later the reporter reported a bill arrived for $7,500.00 for the small dent/scratch damage that,as he put it,HE had caused.
Now HE was upset.
