Here in Java it seems were moving away from that. We have the class GoKart. Ok, but then why don't I just assign it a color? Why do we have to create a new variable and assign that a color. Sorry, stepping off soapbox...

public String mCharaterName = "GoKart";
Now you should only have the following:
Hope this helps.
