You changed the padding of the car class to 10px, but they were asking you to change the padding of the a tags to 10px.

Here's the code they're looking for:

/* Background Color */
html {
  background: #99E6FF;
}


/* Body */
body {
  margin: 0 auto;
  max-width: 800px;
}


/* Images */
img {
  width: 100%;
}

.car { 
  display: block;
  margin: 40px auto;
  padding: 0;
}


/* Links */
a {
  background: transparent;
  border: 0;
  display: block;
  float: left;
  margin: 0;
  outline: 0;
  padding: 10px;
  width: 33%; 
}

Note: I verified the code passed the challenge.
