Default Big pine tree dropping sap

I've a sticky problem

My neighbor has a huge majestic pine tree, whose branches overhang
my driveway. I actually like this tree but, its been dropping sap
onto the cars.

I've lived here about 6 years and don't recall it dropping this
much sap. Daily there are about 5 to 10 new dropplets on the car.
And these are a real chore to clean off.

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me why this tree is dropping so
much sap? It looks like a healthy tree to me. I live in Massachusetts
and the summer has been fairly hot and dry, but nothing out of the
ordinary. Does dropping sap indicate there could be something wrong
with the tree? Or is this normal?
