breaks Max 00

Has anyone felt a weird feeling while attempting to break on ice, it feels like there are rocks on the road and the more you break the more it feels, the break pedal feels like not doing anything but slipping just a bumpy pedal sensation, is there something wrong with my breaks? only on ice thought...

'breaking' on 'ice'... kind of like an oxy-moron, isn't it?

Thanks, Mahogony Pearl, that is what is called on the book, there is a ruby pearl and the mahogany pearl, you can always look it up on the Touch-Up Paints nissan website.

perhaps the finish has a "pearl" effect to it - i.e. a pearl is white but if you look at it in certain angles/illuminations it appears to have a kind of iridescence (don't know if I'm explaining this right"). Aren't there "black pearls" or is that just the ship in Pirates of the Caribbean?
