Got to Powerdown, even though I don't want to!?

Hello Steemit!

Since I have heard about Steemit Hive account@dumar022 put in my head that Steem Power is something that I shouldn't touch. He said that I can do power up if I want to but that power-down is not option except I want to leave Steemit forever. He opened Steemit account about half year before me so he already knew how Steemit works when I came.

So I started to posting and posting. I have never thought about power down.
Because of Steemit I have earned some $$ that helped me to buy used scooter.
I did payout of all my money that I have earned but I didn't touch my Steem Power. I wanted to buy expensive scooter because I wanted to drive it, I didn't want to lose my time and money on fixing some cheap used scooter in terrible condition.

I have already wrote about my buying experience of scooter. I have bought really expensive one because past owner of scooter showed me bill of all parts which he allegedly changed.

I have tried the scooter and its engine sounded like new one without any suspicious sounds. After a week scooter started having really creapy sounds and I found out that 50 ccm scooter drink 10 L/100 km because of some engine problem. I couldn't find whats wrong with it so I drove it to mehanic. Mehanic had opened scooter and found out that every main part of scooter was in terrible condition.

Engine crankshaft looked like somebody used hammer to put it in place. On few spots engine block had damages because someone who didn't know basic things about scooter wanted to be mehanic.

Engine clip had huge damage because of cheap material. Mehanic said that clip is not the original one so that means past owner had bought cheap components but he said that he had bought original ones.

Just after 2 weeks of driving my new but used scooter stopped and I needed somehow to find $500 for service to back it on the road again.

That is the main reason why am I first time in my Steemit career in power down.

After next power down payout I will stop power down and I hope that this will be my last power down.

My dad always says:

" If you bought expensive stuff it doesn't mean that it will be good but if you bought cheap stuff it definitely won't be good"

This time I have bought expensive scooter that costed me lot of time, money and nerves.

You really need super luck to not buy shitty stuff and it seems like I wasn't super lucky...

Thank you Steemit community on all support you gave me. Because of your upvotes I will bring my scooter back on the road.
