I wouldn't mind having that problem! But seriously, why does it have to be a linear progression in terms of vehicle cost? My uncle who has owned everything from Golf GTI's to 911 Turbos didn't work his way up from the bottom. He went from a Mustang GT to a Mazdaspeed 3 to a 911 to an Audi S4 and he's currently waiting for the new Golf R to come out. If you're really a car guy and not an e-peen masseuse you don't look at the sticker price to establish a fun factor.
Personally, I'm glad I got a few fun cars out of my system when I was young and single, before I decided to start a family. The relationship+marriage+kid process rarely leaves time and money for an irresponsible fun car. Let alone not having to ask permission to spend $50grand on a car that only I will enjoy! lol
