I don't know if this is just me or not so ill ask, do your brakes slip when wet? Wet it's wet out I can hear my brakes slipping while trying to stop the car and the car keeps on going foward. Why would this happen? Anyone else see this?

It's strange. Only started happening recently. I'll hit the breaks when it's wet out and ill hear loud rubbing and the car vibrates as it continues to move.

If the car sit in a moist environment for a wile the brake rotors will develop some surface rust, however the first few times you use the brakes they clean themselfs off, which can cause vibrations and noise. Thats normal.

The ABS system kicking in does cause a vibration type of feeling in most cars. I haven't personally felt it in the G8 yet but I assume it has a similar feeling. Sure it isn't that?

I havent experienced this, but it sounds like ABS is active on stops.

I think we all got the impression that in Blackdevils situation it happened repeatedly in the same drive which would make for a large difference.

Correct. He is getting that skip/sliding sensation. Low air pressure creates this on certain road surfaces when wet also.
