Once you complete an easy puzzle you want to try your hand at a much harder puzzle.
lol... it takes a 25 minutes to change the battery on my 97 cutlass, does that mean it takes more mechanical ability to work on it? no. it just takes more patience.
i have worked on vws, hondas, nissans, fords, mazdas, gms and mitsus and the only difference is the amount of time and patience needed to get the job done.
edit: well and the 7000 different "special tools" that it takes to actually work on a vw.
