Yeah, I am 41, and I remeber the jingle and TV commercial well, with that big-ass shiny car pulling up to the racetrack, lol.
But really whoever said 20+?!, I dont think anyone under 40 is going to remember this classic commercial. They just don't make commercials like this anymore :(
Been searching for Jimmy's used auto parts commercial for years. I hope somebody out there has it. Used to love when it popped up on 17, 29 or 48 at 2 AM. LOL
Jimmie's ads have been appearing on the rebroadcast of WPVI's 11:00 PM edition of Action News around 3:00 AM as of March 2010.
Yes, I'm an early riser, as I start work at 6:00 AM. I only get to see the first 7 minutes of Matt O'Donnell, Tamala Edwards and David Murphy before I make the 45-minute trip from northern Bucks County to Willow Grove.
It's only a Quonset hut but, if you've got a passion for fashion...

whoa. I think I was sitting right next to you guys! I remember the two women singing it and I felt so clueless next to you guys.

They need to add a few more "Philly specific jingles" to their repretoire. My suggestions would be
"We do it just a little bit better ... at Wawa"
and
"Nobody bakes a cake as tasty as a Tastykake."
:-)

It may be a bit downscale, but how about:
"The home of happy auto parts, where saving money starts, at Jimmie's Used Auto Parts"?
Or, "Everybody who knows, goes to Melrose..." for the Melrose Diner in south Philly.

Jimmie's commercial started airing again around 2 AM on KYW-TV (CBS-3) in 2008 or 2009.
I don't know if they still air it, as CBS-3 doesn't air their rebroadcast of the 11:00 news anymore after "that Scottish bastard" goes off. ;-)

Someone has posted the 2010 version of Jimmie's commercial here on YT.
It's posted under "Jimmie's Used Auto Parts Philadelphia Commercial Classic".
