I've never heard of that before.

Is that normal?

There are also non metalic parts that benefit when a car is driven regularly, such as gaskets, seals, transmission parts (Brake parts as mentioned above), etc....

Just a little historical anecdote,

This was even more true before the invention of modern gasket and seal materials.

I had a friend who had been a pilot in WWII and loved to tell the stories of how much fun he had after the war ended. The vast majority of personnel came home but the Pentagon wanted to keep a fair amount of equipment over there and operational so they had more airplanes than people to fly them. The maintenance crews had a terrible time keeping the planes airworthy because so many of the systems would rot or get stuck if not used regularly.

The maintenance guys used to beg him to fly as many planes as often as he possibly could. So he and buddies would literally fly anywhere and everywhere for any reason, or no reason. “Wan’na grab lunch?” “Sure, how about Paris?” “Nah, we had lunch in Paris yesterday.” “OK, Rome then?” “Sounds good, maybe Vienna for dinner?”

Well, how often do you jack a car up after washing it?

It seems pretty normal to me. Any car that gets hose washed, if you drive/move the car, water will pour out of it in a trail. In this case the car was pitched even more than in driving, plus it wasn't moving so it all came out in the same spot.

Have you driven your car after a wash and seen all that water come out of it?

I've seen it happen with the older models, but the newer models tend to channel water a little better.
