abdullah, really close, except for the name of the variable:

public class GoKart {
  public String mColor = "red";
}

They want you to follow the convention of starting instance variable names with a lower case 'm'. So you do mColor rather than color. Note that MCharacterName is meaningless to the java compiler.
