Hi there - very close!!

You need to use the name of the instance of GoKart then dot notation to get the method name.

I called my GoKart instance goKart and here is my code:

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
        GoKart goKart = new GoKart("red");
      System.out.printf(goKart.getColor());
    }
}

I hope that makes sense.

Steve.
