I drove my car up on ramps to do some front maintenance and the rear spit out a lot of moisture..water and carbon build up in the tail pipe.
Have any of you experienced this and know if this is normal? It was about 45 degrees last night here in S. Florida.

byproduct of the catalytic converter is water,
the temperature difference and condensation increases the affect so you are seeing water.
watch other cars on the road, you can see quite a bit of water come out of tailpipes under certain conditions, it'll drip drip drip quite a bit, more noticeable on imports where there's only 1 tailpipe with small diameter.
Or if you wash the car and hose water into the muffler that can do it as well.
