RaceCar:

anything wrong here with the method run_laps ?

racecar.py 
class RaceCar:
    laps = 0

    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)

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

length is not an attribute of the RaceCar class, so you don't need to write "self." before length! Just treat it like a normal placeholder argument in any old python function :) Other than that, there's no problem whatsoever. Happy coding!
