Welcome to Treehouse!

You are close in the first line of code you wrote after the prompting code. To create a new GoKart object for this challenge one needs to code it as:

GoKart someKart = new GoKart();

Further, as the challenge instructions indicate, the GoKart object takes a single parameter, color. Therefore we need to pass in a color when we create the object like so:

GoKart someKart = new GoKart("blue");

To take this a step further, since it would help later on in code maintenance, we should utilize a meaningful name for our object and not someKart, which will work from a functional standpoint but think if you have twenty GoKart objects with names like, someKart, thisKart, thatKart, etc. It would confuse me greatly. Therefore, let's write this code challenge like:

GoKart blueKart = new GoKart("blue");

Please post back if you still have questions.

Happy coding,

Ken
