Hey Hunter, your if statement just needs to contain the method name. Hope this helps..

if car_speed > speed_limit
  flash_car_speed
else
  display_car_speed
end

[MOD: switched to answer, edited code block & removed brackets - srh]

Hunter, Christopher has it right. Your Boolian is a test of a method. It sees IF the statement is true, and returns true or false. It won't end unless you tell it to, so don't forget to add END, as the function will still evaluate (look for) any other statements like ELSE.

Good Luck
