self.fuel_remaining = fuel_remaining
for key, value in kwargs.items():
setattr(self, key, value)

Treehouse TeacherHi there! I feel like you're doing pretty well except that you might not be understanding where to put the laps property. Also note, that you have a lap variable instead of a laps variable. This should be declared before the init and run_lap. Every time we make a new RaceCar we want to set the laps to zero by default. It's brand new! Of course it hasn't run any laps yet
But what about the fuel_remaining? Why do we send that in? I'm guessing we do this because not every race car is the same make and model. They (even at full tanks) hold differing amounts of fuel.
Finally, the lap = 0 should be removed from the run_lap method. Otherwise, the race car will only ever show to have run one lap as the count is being reset to zero every time.
Hope this helps, but let me know if you're still stuck!
