Hey again Ben,

So you did a good job in creating the new goKart object, the next step wants you to call a printf statement to get the color of the goKart, we can do this by the following code.

System.out.printf("The color of the new kart is %s", goKart.getColor());

You would of course change what the name of the cart if you called it something besides goKart, so if we did something like 

GoKart kart1 = new GoKart("Red");

System.out.println("The color of the kart is %s", kart1.getColor());

Thanks, let me know if this doesn't help.
