Anybody have a clue about what I am doing wrong?

what is wrong with how I am implementing the try/catch exception

Main.java 
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        GoKart kart = new GoKart("yellow");
        if (kart.isBatteryEmpty()) {
          System.out.println("The battery is empty");
        }
        kart.drive(2);
    }
    try {
     kart.drive(10);
     System.out.println("TWNH");
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
      System.out.println("WT");
      System.out.printf("tew:   %s  \n", iae.getMessage());
    }
  }
}

it accepts:

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        GoKart kart = new GoKart("yellow");
        if (kart.isBatteryEmpty()) {
          System.out.println("The battery is empty");
        }
      try {  
      kart.drive(2);
      } catch (Exception e){
        System.out.println(e.getMessage());
      }
    }
}

I'd note that one of your drive invocation is outside try-catch.
