This is one of the most famous Midas ads of the 70's, and likely aired during sports programming back in the day.
Anyway, a motorist driving with a tired muffler in need of repair is being berated by a motorcylist, and another driver (a pre-Secrets of Isis Joanna Cameron, using what sounds like a NY or Boston accent). Jack Somack, a frequent guest on Barney Miller (1975-82), is the belittled driver.

Midas Mufflers did several spots like this in the early '70s; you can find a few of them at YouTube.
In one of them, you can see Mantan Moreland doing his "indefinite talk" routine with the hapless driver, played here by Joe Perry, a popular "Oh, Him!" actor of the time.
I've seen that one. There was a series with Lee Horsley while he was also doing "Matt Houston" in the 80's, and after that Robert Tessier. Midas attracted a good number of celebrities, including Lee Van Cleef, Art Metrano, Rick Hurst, John Hoyt, and others.
