Again, it works fine in my console.

Hi there, Leslie Lewis ! Yes, it partially works in your console, but not quite like we're expecting. The point of an __init__ is to set up the initial values on an instance of an object. However, in your code, your __init__ takes a color and a fuel_remaining. We want to set those at the time we create the instance.

Here's your code and the creation of an instance and a print statement of the color attribute.

class RaceCar:

    def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
        self.color = "red"
        self.fuel_remaining = "40"
        for key, value in kwargs.items():
            setattr(self, key, value)

my_car = RaceCar("blue", 20)
print(my_car.color)

That print statement will print out "red". Every time you make a new RaceCar you are hard-coding the color to red, even if you tell it you want it to be blue or some other color. Also, the fuel_remaining is meant to be an integer and not a string.

But if you do this:

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)

my_car = RaceCar("blue", 20)
print(my_car.color)

Then the color attribute of my_car will be "blue" because you set it through the arguments at the time it was created.

Just remember that just because something works in your console, doesn't necessarily mean that it does exactly what the code challenge is expecting. The lack of a syntax error does not eliminate the possibility that the functionality is somewhat off.

Hope this helps!
