Not sure why this is wrong

I'm not sure why this is incorrect its not giving me any errors. GoKart kart = new GoKart("red");

Example.java 
public class Example {
    GoKart kart = new GoKart("red");
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("We are going to create a GoKart");
    }
}

Hey there Quinn,

The trouble is that you are declaring the object outside of the method so java is getting confused, be sure to put that line underneath the "We are going to make a GoKart!"

Thanks, let me know if this helps.
