Need help with java challenge

I cant figure out both tasks of this question! Could someone comment the finished code so I can learn what I did wrong?

Example.java 
public class GoKart {
  private String mColor;

  public GoKart(String color) {
    mColor = color;
  }
  public String getColor() {
    return mColor;
  }
}

Ahh I see...I think you misread this challenge. In the Example.java, the GoKart class is already created, you just need to create a new instance and follow the instructions.

Sorry for the delay and the confusion!
