public static final int MAX_BARS = 8;
private String color;
private int barCount;
private int lapsDriven ;
public boolean drive(){
void return ;
}
public GoKart(String color) {
this.color = color;

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You've typed void return. But you've set up your drive method to return a boolean. When declaring a function we first say the access modifier (public private etc). Then the return type, then the name of the function, and finally the parameter list.
So the definition of your method should look like
public void drive() {
}
This declares a method named drive with public access that returns nothing. Hope this helps!

You forgot to declare acces modfier for your class (private, public, protected) ;)
Good luck ;)

28,558 PointsAlex Bratkovskij: It is not invalid to not declare an access modifier when creating a class. Doing so will just result in the class having the default access modifier level which is package-private. Meaning that it can only be accessed by other classes within the package it is a part of.

5,329 PointsThanks andren I did not know that... (I red it somewhere but since I always declare access modifier I totally forgot) Thanks, I will write it down!
