Angry Blinding Headlights from damn chevy/pontiac/buick!

This has nothing to do with Camrys but this happened to me enough times while driving mine! but i've noticed this is apparent on all of these minivans i've seen.

The chevrolet uplander or pontiac montana sv6 or buick something or the other
ALL of these damn minivans have their headlights pointed to the sky glaring directly at me when they are behind me!!
At first I thought they were using high beams or something then I noticed it happening for every one of these that was driving behind me..

any1 else notice this? (if you own one plz adjust ur headlights )

Actually I also noticed this with those vehicles.

The real question is...what kind of a sick, stupid and idiotic person would you have to be to buy one of these ugly van creations?

Damn, if the wife insists on driving such a boring vehicle because you had too many kids, at least get a Toyota Sienna or Honda Oddysey! GM vehicles are so crude, and so "unfinished" and "under-engineered".

LoL serious, I didn't wanna be too judgemental in case somebody did have it :|
but when I see that shit coming from behind I slow down and let them pass can't stand that crap, you are right it is crude they don't even aim the headlights before they deliver the car to the customer...

Both GM and Ford are abandoning the minivan market. Could be worse though - ever consider one of these Pontiac Aztecs?

Well luckily they stopped making the Aztek some time ago. If you remember...it first came out with all that gray plastic cladding. Then they gave it a fast facelift which made the cladding body-color (as in the above pics). But that didn't save this sinking ship.

I'm not afraid of what I said about the GM minivans. I stand by it. I hate vans to begin with (every kind, every brand). Any opportunity to bash them will be exploited! Why is it that I see some random dad doing 180km/h in the right lane with kids in the back in a minivan? Just like with riced-up Civics, I think the people who drive minivans are what give them a bad name with some people (like me).

5% tint and auto-dimming mirror will help this issue.

Well.. in my area in CA, some drivers drive with high beam all the time. The state troopers care less.

Probably like that other person said, get the windows tinted and get the auto dimming mirrors.

I also got mines thru Dave but I need to find time to install it.
