H1... 
Though, at this point, I'm trying to talk him out of it. My rational is that he can buy two NICELY equipped (exhaust, suspension lifts, superchargers, etc.) GMC Yukon or Chevy Tahoes for the same price.
As for him compensating for something.... he's 54years old. He's having a mid life crisis. Nuff said.

Consider yourselves sigged
And you'd better appreciate that I took my rigs link out to fit you in there!
Why would you want two nicely equipped "GMC Yukon or Chevy Tahoes for the same price."? Sound like two pieces of junk. But you COULD buy a nice capable SUV and also a nice capable sedan or roadster, and I'll agree that two is better than one.
I actually looked into buying an H1. The things that stopped me were:
1) Lack of reliability data. I have one car with 150k miles on it and a Jeep with 60k miles on it. I am very confident in both of those and know the history of their models and likely problems. In my brief Hummer research, I found VERY few that had high miliage, and VERY little data, anectdotal or otherwise to suggest what might go wrong or counted for common problems. There was also next to zero data for repair costs, parts cost, etc.
2) Insurance - I didn't go so far as to try to get a quote, but reading owner's comments and things like that, I got the impression it was absurd
3) Speed - the H1s are pretty damn slow. I'm not even sure if they'll do 70, and 0-60 is in something like 20 seconds? That actually makes them a little dangerous for driving around here, especially on the interstate
4) Just too big - they won't do well on the interstate, but they also won't do well around town, because they're a little too WIDE to deal with narrow twisty roads, or even parking spots.
I do think they look fantastic, and purchase price wasn't even so bad - I found a couple that looked good in the 25-35k range - but it was just too impractical and too "unknown" to seem worth buying. Even though the initial cost wasn't all that outrageous, it seemed like the ongoing expenses could REALLY add up.

that's the thing - hummer's are not meant for the interstate. they're off-road machines. (it kills me everytime somebody buys a 4x4 and never does more than drive on a gravel road for "off-roading") the H1 is awesome if you wanna really go off road... and the H2... well... just GM's attempt at getting at the gravel-road-off-roading suv market. personally, i think they should've never made the H2... let suv's be suv's and let soccer-mom cars be mini-vans. it's just a fad car anyway. long live the H1!
and for having a hummer making up for something - i agree with Descartes, its only makin' up for not having a hummer! besides, i'd rather have a hummer anyday over a honda civic with a 4 foot wing....

useless automobile..by a useless company...I should know I own one of their vehicles. If he's got cash.. buy a BMW X5 with 4.6L V8 Powa engine.. or the new LeXuS RX330 Anything besides a GM.. I'm even recommending "shudder" Ford F150 Lightning.

Mid life crisis? He needs a sports car/sedan or something. Porsche 911, Dodge Viper, Corvette Z06, BMW M3/M5, or a Mercedes E series AMG version.
