SQL Error: no such column: VIN

I am on task 1 of 5 for the relational database challenges and I don't understand this error. the prompt specifically lists VIN as a column but is telling me that there is no such column?

Select md.modelname,VIN,ca.stickerprice from Model Inner Join Model md ON md.modelid=ca.modelid;

Hey zaal rottunda !

Currently, you're SELECTING FROM and JOINING ON the same table, and since VIN is on the Car table, it's not understanding where to find it. If you're selecting from Model, be sure to INNER JOIN the Car table, or vice versa :smiley:

SELECT ModelName, VIN, StickerPrice
FROM Model
INNER JOIN Car
ON Model.ModelID = Car.ModelID;
