kinda tired, just need a little help getting this ':D

what am I doing wrong?

racecar.py 
class RaceCar:
    color = "Blue"
    fuel_remaining = 100
    length = 9
    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, laps):
        return (self.fuel_remaining -= (self.length * 0.125)) and self.laps += 1

Hi there,

Sorry - I just deleted an answer I wrote but I shouldn't have!

The run_laps method doesn't need to return anything. It just sets some values.

Pass in the length and self; laps is on the class so doesn't need passing in. Inside the method, deduct, as you have done, from fuel_remaining and increment laps. I did that on two lines rather than one but if that works for you, then great!

The method needn't return anything - it just amends those values as you have done.

I hope that helps!

Steve.
