Hey Tyler,

So what the challenge is asking is that you create a subclass of the Vehicle class named Car, which you did!

Now, the challenge isn't asking you to override the init method, so you can delete that. However, the challenge does ask for a new variable for the Car class named 'numberOfSeats' with a type of Int and a default value of 4. And after, to create a constant named 'someCar' and create an instance of Car. This can be achieved with this code:

// Enter your code below
class Car: Vehicle {
  var numberOfSeats = 4
}  

let someCar = Car(withDoors: 4, andWheels: 4)
