Leaded vs. Unleaded Fuel

Stumbled into MY territory again, darn it!
I own lots of older vehicles, going back to a
1930 IHC Six-Speed Special.
  How do I rank unleaded gas as a threat?
  How about BELOW Secret Black Helicopters
Stealing Our Beloved Military Vehicles??!
  Valve seat recession is only a problem on a
DAILY driven vehicle. Do ALL you guys drive
this stuff to work???
  If not, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!!!
Since I live in a state where vehicle tin seems to live forever, and
since I am constantly working on decades-old vehicles at home and
at work, I come in contact with the supposed
lead-free gas / valve problem EVERY DAY!
Guess what!! There IS NO REAL PROBLEM!
I DO NOT SEE BURNED VALVES / RECESSED VALVE SEATS EVERY DAY!
  Spend your money on something else.
   Especially on a seldom-driven vehicle. OK?
Flame suit on!
