It rained for a few hours today, and there's a dry patch where I normally park a car. But there's been no car there for at least two days.
Hmm.

Damp/dry drive dilemma

The rain has been washing dust etc. into the pores of the brickwork, reducing its porosity, except where you park the car?
Oil leakage?
Or, more likely less photo degradation of whatever coating was originally on the blocks?
Aliens.
B, maybe.
DMM, you can see a faint oil patch near the house, it's not that. The rest is oil free (it was the rear engined car that leaked oil).
RT, no aliens where I live. Too boring.
Alternatively, the ghost of your car is still parked there.
I imagine it's something to do with saturation - the bricks normally under cover will be less saturated than the others
It could be early onset of 'sinkhole syndrome'. Happens a lot to old drives and gardens these days. Just accept it as part of the aging process.
Elementary my dear Watson.
Paving blocks under where the car normally is are bone dry because no rain normally falls on them. Other blocks are wet this time of year. Ergo when some rain falls on both, the "under car" ones dry more quickly.
Ergo you'll find the dead body in the living room.
B, unlikely. It's not dead, it's having some rust removed.
KTC and RM, that seems the most likely explanation.
MW, it's a new drive, still flat as a pancake can be on a hill.
