I drive them. Last summer, my wife and I drove our 430 up north into Wisconsin and Michigan traveling through small, quaint, charming and fascinating little towns. We put 1400 miles on the car. It was a blast! Some day I'll tell my grand kids about that trip. BTW, I put some pretty good size stone chips on the car and there were bugs splattered all of the car but it was an amazing trip.
Thank you so much. I thank God every day but all I ask of Him is keep my kids and wife safe and allow me to use my talents to the fullest extent so I can help my family and others within the context of His plan. The cars, while awesome, are low priority, relatively speaking.

LOL! Hey man, I'll try to hang in there as long as I can! 
I'm not sure I can articulate very well the differences compared to actually experiencing the two cars. I'll try, however...
The 430 is "in your face" at all times. There's no letting up as it overwhelms your senses, and does it again, and again, and then again. It demands your attention and you're glad to give it your attention.
vs.
The 599 can be in your face or in the background depending on your mood. You can put it in automatic, put on the a/c, roll up the windows, throw in a Sinatra CD, and relax. Or you can put in race mode, step on it, and it accelerates violently, taking your breath away.
The 430 has an edge to it. It's high strung, manic, like one sleep deprived and overdosed to the max on caffeine.
vs.
The 599 is graceful. It's comfortable and has plenty of luggage space for a long trip somewhere. It will make a statement if you ever pulled up to the porte cochere of the Dolder Grand in Zurich, the Hotel De Paris in Monte Carlo or any comparable establishment.
But they're both astonishing automobiles, that much they have in common!

what is your daily driver, as you said you drove non fo them to work?and your comparison between the f430 and 599 seems spot-on, the toycar and the subtle gt is a great pair.
would love to see more high-res pictures if you have any.
all the best

An 03 Chev. Suburban with 118K+ miles is my daily driver! I will drive it until I hit at least 200K miles.
A few more taken on Friday when the 07 430 Coupe was delivered (the 06 is now gone). This winter I will take photos of all the cars together as they are stored in one place.
