Questions people ask
Who is Stradman?
Stradman is James Condon, a car YouTuber who has posted supercar videos since July 2012 and films every stage of owning them, from delivery day to repair bills to the sale. His YouTube About page says the name comes from his dream car, the 2004 Ferrari Challenge Stradale, and Famous Birthdays says his first upload was a Ferrari Dino 246 GTS video in July 2012. His first supercar was an orange 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo, which Dexerto reported helped him launch the channel; he has since owned cars including a Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Aventadors, a McLaren 570S, a widebody Toyota Supra and a Koenigsegg Agera. As of November 2026 the channel has about 4.56 million subscribers, 1,266 videos and more than 1.25 billion views.
What happened to Stradman? Is he still posting in 2026?
As of November 2026 nothing has stopped Stradman’s channel: he posts about once a week, and his newest video, The World’s First Widebody Lamborghini Temerario is Done., went up on October 31, 2026, five days after his SEMA build reveal. What people usually mean is his 2026: he sold his Koenigsegg Agera HH in February, his original Lamborghini Gallardo caught fire in June, and his crashed Ferrari 812 Superfast was finished in September (each is below). On April 5, 2026 he posted a video titled I WAS FIRED, ten years to the day after his April 5, 2016 video So I got laid off. Can I keep my Lamborghini!?. The 2026 video’s description only links his merch, and we have not verified what he says in it, so we do not characterize it.
Why did Stradman sell his Koenigsegg and his Bugatti? Why is he selling his cars?
Stradman sold his Koenigsegg Agera HH in February 2026, and Supercar Blondie reported in March 2026 that he said payments of $35,000 a month led to the decision, freeing money for his Ferrari 812 rebuild; the buyer and price were not published. He posted I BOUGHT MY DREAM KOENIGSEGG AGERA on December 23, 2023, followed by The Massive Financial Consequence of my Koenigsegg. and a January 2024 video on the Utah State Tax Commission. duPont Registry reported the car for sale in October 2025, describing it as a 2012 Agera S originally built for programmer David Heinemeier Hansson and previously owned by his friend Houston Crosta. He posted Selling my Beloved Koenigsegg Agera HH. on February 10, 2026 and Koenigsegg Sold. Revuelto Here. on February 18. His 2008 Bugatti Veyron, delivered in January 2020, went in Selling my Bugatti Veyron. on May 30, 2023. He has not given one reason for that sale that we could verify; before it came 2022 videos such as 37 Days til the Bank Forecloses my House and Forced to Sell Half of my Supercar Collection. Dexerto reported he told viewers the Veyron cost $880,000, financed after a $550,000 down payment, at $4,765 a month. A May 2025 video is titled The Bugatti Veyron is Back.; we have not verified whether he owns it again.
What happened to Stradman’s Gallardo?
Stradman’s 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo, his first supercar, caught fire while he was driving it in June 2026, and he bought it back from his insurer to rebuild it. He posted My Lamborghini Caught Fire. The OG Is Dead. on June 14, 2026 (about 1 million views), then The Verdict on my Fire Damaged Lamborghini Gallardo. on June 17, The Crazy Reason why my Lamborghini Caught on Fire. on July 10 and Rebuilding my Fire Damaged Lamborghini Gallardo. on August 5. Supercar Blondie reported in July 2026 that bystanders helped with fire extinguishers, that insurance declared the car a total loss, that he had owned it for 11 years since buying it in Newport Beach in 2015, and that his working theory was a failure in the fuel vapor (EVAP) system, which he called only a theory. Before the fire the car had a long-running twin-turbo build, as in The Dumpster Fire that is my Twin Turbo Lamborghini Gallardo. It was not his first fire: in October 2023 he posted My $400,000 Lamborghini LM002 Caught on Fire.
What happened to Stradman’s 812, and to his 6x6 Gladiator?
Stradman’s Ferrari 812 Superfast is the car actor Michael B. Jordan crashed into a parked Kia in Hollywood, and as of September 2026 Stradman has finished rebuilding it. He posted I BOUGHT MICHAEL B. JORDAN’S CRASHED FERRARI on March 31, 2024. Carscoops reported in April 2024 that he bought it from an eBay auction, found frame damage, was quoted $9,809.17 for a new Ferrari bumper and $5,761.26 for a fender, and said his budget was “completely destroyed.” After a multi-part rebuild series, he posted My Crashed Ferrari 812 Superfast is Reborn. on September 22, 2026. The 6x6 is a Jeep Gladiator he converted to six wheels and a Hellephant V8, nicknamed the Hellesauras: he posted Introducing my 6x6 Jeep!! on June 10, 2021 and Taking Delivery of my Hellesauras!! on July 9, 2021. We found no video or report saying what happened to the 6x6 after that, so we do not guess.
What happened to Stradman and Luke? What happened to Stradman’s dog?
Luke was part of Stradman’s crew in his 2020 and 2021 videos, and we found no source saying anything happened between them. Descriptions of videos such as The Unfortunate CRASH History of my Bugatti Veyron. (December 15, 2020) and Driving an illegal NASCAR to McDONALDS’s!! (August 4, 2021) tell viewers to follow “the boys,” naming Stefan, Luke and others, and Luke is still credited in December 2021. Neither has addressed a split on the record that we could find. Stradman introduced his puppy in Meet my new Puppy and the Aston Martin V12 Vantage on March 19, 2019, and KSL.com reported that May that the dog is named Oskar; Oskar later got his own video, Buying my Puppy a $100,000 New Vehicle. We found no video or report about anything happening to Oskar.
How did Stradman make his money? Why is Stradman rich?
Stradman makes his living from YouTube, where his channel has more than 1.25 billion views as of November 2026, plus sponsors and merch, and he has said his cars did not come from a lottery win or his family. In a 2015 video, What I do for a living to afford a Lamborghini Gallardo., he wrote that he did not win the lottery, his parents did not buy the car and he has no trust fund. He posted that he had been laid off in April 2016, and Dexerto reported that after losing his job he lived out of his Audi TT while filming Bugatti Veyrons in Beverly Hills. Some of his cars have been financed rather than bought outright: Dexerto reported the Veyron payments, and Supercar Blondie the $35,000 monthly Koenigsegg payments. Recent videos carry sponsor reads for brands such as SimpliSafe, Chime and Ridge, and his merch sells through the Strad Pizza website.
How old is Stradman, and what is his real name?
Stradman is 37, born May 7, 1989, per Famous Birthdays. His real name is James Condon, as printed by KSL.com in May 2019 and listed by Famous Birthdays. Stradman is not his surname: it is a screen name from the Ferrari Challenge Stradale, per his About page, even though some articles call him “James Stradman.”
Where is Stradman from? Why did he move to Utah, and where does he live now?
Stradman was born in Oregon, per Famous Birthdays, and lived in Utah for years before moving to Arizona by January 2024. His YouTube About page still says he lives in Park City, Utah, and KSL.com placed him in the Salt Lake City area in 2019. He has not explained why he moved to Utah in anything we could source; Dexerto reported only that he sold his Audi R8 before the move. He built a house with a large garage in 2022 (My Dream House is Finished!, October 3, 2022), posted Why I Moved to Arizona. on January 31, 2024, and SELLING MY DREAM HOUSE on November 26, 2024. We have not verified his reasons in the video, and we do not list home addresses.
Who is Stradman’s girlfriend? Who is he dating?
As of November 2026, Stradman features a girlfriend in his videos, most recently Buying my Girlfriend her Absolute Dream Car! on July 5, 2026, without naming her in the title. Famous Birthdays lists that he dated Instagram creator Tessa Peay and later began dating Sophia Garcia de Leon, a TikTok car creator whose own Famous Birthdays page says her boyfriend is known as the Stradman. We found no announced marriage.
Where can I watch Stradman?
Stradman posts long videos about weekly on YouTube @TheStradman, with short clips on TikTok, where he has about 3.9 million followers as of November 2026, and on Instagram @thestradman. He also posts on Snapchat and Vero, and his photography page is on Facebook. His merch sells through Strad Pizza, a pizza shop in Scottsdale, Arizona carrying his Strad name, which his video descriptions link as “Stradmerch”; his September 2025 Short was titled Sprinting with more and more Strad Pizza.
What is Stradman’s net worth?
Stradman does not publish a number and neither do we.
Who represents Stradman?
As of November 2026, no agency or manager is named for Stradman on his YouTube About page, which lists a business email behind a sign-in and links to his Facebook, Instagram, website and Vero. Ames Create does not represent him; we cover him because people keep asking what happened to his Koenigsegg, Bugatti and Gallardo, and his own upload record answers most of it. If that changes, this entry will say so.
Our read
Ames Create does not work with Stradman. This is our view, from a team that works on creator brands for a living.
The format. Ownership as a serial. He buys a car, lives with it on camera through the payments, breakdowns, crashes and upgrades, then sells it, and every step gets its own first-person title with a dollar figure or a stake: I bought, I was fired, the OG is dead.
Why it travels. Drama around the cars travels furthest: a fire, a celebrity wreck, a forced sale. The June 2026 Gallardo fire video passed 1 million views and the 812 finale about 940,000, while Shorts such as his Jeeperghini clip (about 22 million views) keep the TikTok and Shorts audience growing between long uploads.
Brand fit. Consumer brands already buy his integrations, with SimpliSafe, Chime and Ridge in recent descriptions, and aftermarket parts, wraps, tires, detailing and insurance fit the build videos. Dealers and car brands fit his delivery days, and he takes cars to SEMA.
