I'd collect vintage Ferraris if I could afford it, but I can't so I ain't gonna cry about it. As to the original question..For me Tiki is an atmosphere that is completely apart from the real world..and maybe it's that paradise thing that Sven wrote..but it's an atmosphere that is calm, exotic and a little mysterious. Something about the combination of tropical plants, running water, dim lighting and cozy spaces can instantly change my mood. Either you get it or you don't, it's a completely visceral thing because I remember the feeling from the very first time I went to the Tiki Room at Disneyland.
