you are almost there !
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
GoKart goKartColor = new GoKart ("red");
System.out.printf ("The colour of the Go Kart is %s\n", goKartColor.getColor());
// call the method on the goKartColor
// using dot (.) operator, not e comma
// and don´t forget the round method brackets
}
}
Hope that helps
