Did you not name the field mBarsCount perhaps?"
Is that what it wrong about this? How do I do that hehe

Question

The title
```GoKart.java
public class GoKart {
  private String mColor;
  public static final int MAX_BARCOUNT = 8;
  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
  }
  private GoKart (int mBarsCount) {
    mBarsCount = 0;
  }
  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  } 
}
```

Hey there Joseph,
What the challenge is expecting you to do is first create it as a private variable of the class, the way it's set up now it only exists inside the scope of the GoKart constructor. 
try first declaring the private variable at the top, but don't give it a value, we set that to 0 in the constructor. 
so, something like below should do the trick.
```java
public class GoKart {
  private String mColor;
  public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
  private int mBarsCount;
  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
    mBarsCount = 0;
  }
  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  } 
}
```
Thanks, I hope this helps. If not feel free to let me know and I'll try to further help.
