During a test drive in Arizona, United States, a woman ended up accidentally “customizing” a brand-new Toyota Tacoma after driving over a can of white paint.
The incident was captured in a video on TikTok by Yuriko Grijalva, showing the black pickup truck covered in white splatters from the bumper to the exhaust. The video went viral and sparked numerous comments, many of them humorous.
The case raised questions about who is responsible for damages caused during a test drive. According to experts, dealerships usually have mandatory insurance that covers these kinds of incidents—unless there is gross negligence by the driver, such as driving under the influence. However, there are situations where the customer may be held liable, especially if the vehicle is being test-driven from a private seller.
On social media, opinions were divided. Some suggested that Grijalva use the incident as leverage to get a discount on the truck, while others speculated that the paint can may have been placed there intentionally.
