The brakes function like they should afterwards. This has happened backing up and going forward.
Yeah, the pads can stick to the rotors if they get wet.

Solution: Don't put it away wet. Drive it around the block to get the water off the brakes.

You should be able to get a leaf blower and blow most of the water out between the pads and rotor. That might work too.

I think its quite odd when I've never heard of any other car doing this, and I've owned a LOT of performance vehicles, domestic, foreign and exotic.

Yeah same, I wonder if it's something with the compound of the brake pads(?) But even then these can't be the only cars with these. I thought possibly it was my calipers seizing for some reason, but I'm glad to hear that isn't the case.

This is what I do.
Mine stuck once after a wash, because I pulled it straight into the garage and it sat for 2 days. Now it gets a 1/2 mile trip around the block and no issue.
