RaceCar 2/3

The only error I'm given is "Bummer: Try again!". Also the editor doesn't seem to want to work properly for this challenge either. Very frustrating not knowing what's even causing the code not to run.

racecar.py 
class RaceCar:

    def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
        self.color = color
        self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
        self.laps = 0

        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, key, value)

    def runlap(self, length):
        self.fuel_remaining -= (length * 0.125)
        self.laps += 1

Heyooo Aaron!, You ALMOST got it;

class RaceCar:

    def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
        self.color = color
        self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
        self.laps = 0

        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, key, value)

    def run_lap(self, length):  # incorrect mehtod name "runlap" XD
        self.fuel_remaining -= (length * 0.125)
        self.laps += 1

LOL, you were only missing an underscore in the name of the method XD, your code is fine Well done This is a little silly.

Did this work?

Aaron Wilks , sorry that is for the next part of the code challenge where you cannot change the value of instances in ' RaceCar'

and you're missing self.laps = 0

class RaceCar:

    def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
        self.color = color
        self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining

        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, key, value)
            self.laps = 0 ####here

     def run_lap(self, length): 
        self.fuel_remaining -= (length * 0.125)
        self.laps += 1

Wait, why does self.laps belong in the for loop as well as the init?
