Yup. Normal. My car does it all the time with this Florida rain. My wife heard it once when she was in the garage and asked if I hit something. Apparently it makes a racket.

I haven’t driven it for about 10-12 days due to non stop rain except for maybe pulling it out of the garage a few feet to wash it.
Today was the first day it didn’t rain and the roads were dry so I took it for a quick spin.
The weird part happened in the garage as I was trying to back it out. I turned it on put it in R and nothing (felt like the parking brake was engaged). I engaged and disingaged the parking brake and still nothing. I proceeded to put it in D, the neutral, still nothing. I finally put it back in D, made sure the PARKING brake was disingaged and then gently depressed the gas pedal. That’s when I hear a popping sound and a slight jerk before it finally engaged. After that everything seemed fine.

Anybody else had this experience

Had it happen to me last week. Didn’t drag the tires but needed just a touch of throttle.

This happens if rotors get wet. I've had it happen with multiple cars. It's normal.

Rust.

My GTR was the worst after washing and letting it sit a few days. It actually resisted a little and then POW. Sounded like a gun going off in the garage.

M6 did same thing.. I washed the car let it sit about 3 weeks while I installed my crazy wrap... I don't set the brake mainly because most brakes still are steel cables that lead to having to adjust or replace worn cables " From leaving the P brakes " on every night ect.. put it in reverse it didn't move then reversed harder and it moved with a pop.

since i had the car on my lift the whole time and working around the front wheel to get the wrap in the fender liner area... I noticed something strange.. the front wheels were locked which was way weird..

I wonder if the line lock has a hick up?
