Call me obsessive. Call me petty. Call me a strange.

I swear I’m not alone in this!?!

Double redundancy drives me crazy. Not mad crazy. More like a mental vertigo. You know what I’m talking about.

These:

• A hot water heater
• A free gift
• Past history

Worse yet:

• ATM machine. Automatic teller machine machine
• HIV virus. Human immunodeficiency virus virus
• Pin number. Personal identification number number

Now we have the official NASCAR 2-for-1 deal. It’s the CoT car.

That’s right. The car of tomorrow car.

It’s almost like a sponsor. ‘Yeah, the [car of tomorrow] car was running really good. I can’t say enough for my crew, they are really great.’

Please, for my sanity, it’s just the car of tomorrow…er, today.”
