Interpolation Code Challenge 2/4

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but I thought this should work..

"The mixin should use the value in $make as the name of a new class. The class should have a 1px solid black border."

@mixin cars( $make, $color){
    .#($make) {
    border: 1px solid black;    }
}

Hi Ricardo,

I just did this code challenge myself. Your logic is correct, but the syntax is incorrect.

@mixin cars($make, $color) {
    .#{$make} {
           border: 1px solid black;
        }
}

You need to use {brackets} instead of (parenthesis) for the interpolation.

Cheers~

Thanks for the response. I had figured it out last night, and felt quite dumb that I had mistaken the blocks for parenthesis.
