In this challenge, we're asked to make a simple class, here is what the challenge info says: "OK, let's combine everything we've done so far into one challenge! First, create a class named RaceCar. In the init for the class, take arguments for color and fuel_remaining. Be sure to set these as attributes on the instance. Also, use setattr to take any other keyword arguments that come in."
class RaceCar:
color = "blue"
fuel_remaining = 100
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)

20,315 PointsIt wants you to set the values on the instance, which means within __init__
The method I have used at the end is one that will unpack the extra arguments being passed in and set them as attributes.
class RaceCar:
def __init__(self, color, fuel_remaining, **kwargs):
self.color = color
self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
self.__dict__.update(kwargs)
