**Item #:** SCP-7380 aka "Sunny Timeout"
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP-7380 is contained in Site-19, Vehicle Bay 8. A localized anti-memetic field with a 6-meter radius of effectiveness has been established around the vehicle to counteract its apathetic effect on observers.
No personnel below Level 3 clearance are permitted to interact with SCP-7380 without prior authorization. Testing must be supervised by at least one Level 4 researcher and approved by Site Command.
If SCP-7380 requires transport, it must be flat towed to and from its destination. Personnel are strictly prohibited from engaging the ignition, //even with the driver’s door open//, for any reason during transit.
**Description:**
SCP-7380 is a 1978 Datsun model KB210 (Sunny 120Y coupe hatchback) in pristine condition. When an individual enters SCP-7380 and attempts to start the engine with all doors closed, the subject becomes unable to exit the vehicle for a duration of approximately 80 years.
Attempts to start the engine during this period trigger a range of unpredictable anomalous phenomena, including but not limited to:
* Rapid flooding of the cabin with sewage water (partial fill)
* Manifestation of live pigeons within the cabin
* Broadcast of Emergency Alert System tones at extreme decibel levels
* Random interior temperature fluctuations exceeding human comfort thresholds
D-Class subjects (see Logs) report that these events occur intermittently and appear to be intended to induce frustration or distress.
If the engine successfully starts — an event calculated to occur at a probability of 1 in 1,000,000 — the subject may exit the vehicle unharmed, and all anomalous activity ceases.
While confined, occupants experience no aging, hunger, thirst, or illness. Upon release, either after 80 years or upon successful ignition, subjects emerge physically unchanged but often display severe psychological distress, typically characterized by withdrawal, emotional numbness, or compulsive patience-related behavior.
If the ignition is attempted with the driver’s door open, the anomalous effect does not activate and the vehicle cranks normally.
During active containment (“timeout mode”), SCP-7380 is indestructible. Subjects who pass near the vehicle while in this mode experience a subtle cognitohazard causing them to ignore or dismiss the vehicle entirely.
**Addendum 7380-A: Initial Recovery**
SCP-7380 was discovered by Junior Foundation Researcher, "Dr. Sunny" [IDENTITY REDACTED] while searching for a used vehicle for his son, who was preparing to attend college.
On the morning of July 13th, 20██, at approximately 1100 hours, met with an elderly man in the parking lot of a shopping mall near his residence. The man started the vehicle //with the driver’s door open//, allowing a brief test drive during which he demonstrated several of the car’s features. He claimed to be the original owner and stated that the odometer reading was 5 kilometers.
After returning to the lot, Dr. Sunny having limited automotive knowledge and finding the vehicle satisfactory, agreed to purchase it. The seller requested an unusual but modest price of $1,617 USD. When questioned about the specific amount and the absence of title or registration, the man replied only that if the vehicle was not to the buyer’s liking, he was free to continue searching elsewhere.
Unwilling to lose what appeared to be a favorable deal, Dr. Sunny proceeded with the purchase. The man accepted payment, handed over the keys, and departed without further comment.
Shortly thereafter, Dr. Sunny entered the vehicle, closed the door, and attempted to start the engine—triggering the anomalous containment event later designated as “Timeout.”

**Audio log from Interview 7380-A:**
**Interviewer: Dr. Jose Mojica, Site-24**
**Interviewed: [IDENTITY REDACTED] "Dr. Sunny"**
**Retrieval Incident #7380-A**
**Date: July 24th, 20██**
**Foreword:**
This interview was conducted shortly after stabilizing Dr. Sunny’s psychological state. Upon recovery, he exhibited signs of catatonia and appeared to be in a state of acute shock. Several days in the Foundation’s psychiatric ward were required before Dr. Sunny was capable of sustaining coherent conversation. The following is the first recorded interview.Dr. Sunny was sedated and subsequently placed under observation following this initial interview.
[[div class="blockquote"]]
<BEGIN LOG>
**Dr. Mojica:** Please state your name and position with the Foundation.
**Dr. Sunny:** Dr. [IDENTITY REDACTED], Junior Researcher at site-24.
//(To be referred to henceforth as “Dr. Sunny.”)//
**Dr. Mojica:** Please tell us what you can remember of the events before you entered SCP-7380.
**Dr. Sunny:** (silence) //[Subject sits with eyes closed, breathing slow and shallow.]//
**Dr. Mojica:** Are you all right, Dr. Sunny?
**Dr. Sunny:** Yes. I was just... enjoying the silence for a second. Plus your wonderful company.
**Dr. Mojica:** Let's stick to the questions at hand for the moment.
**Dr. Sunny:** I apologize. I drove to the mall to meet the gentleman my son had been messaging with. He’s heading off to LSU, and I wanted him to have a reliable car. He’s a fan of vintage Japanese models.
**Dr. Mojica:** Sorry to interrupt—subsequent investigation into the son’s online correspondence revealed the elderly man has no digital fingerprint. No identifying data, images, or associated accounts were recovered. Continue.
**Dr. Sunny:** Well, in any case, I met with the man. He seemed like a nice gentleman—anyone’s typical grandfather.
**Dr. Mojica:** Do you remember any particular features of the elderly man?
**Dr. Sunny:** He looked Hispanic, around his mid-seventies. Medium build, gentle eyes, big bushy beard. Spoke very softly and kindly.
**Dr. Mojica:** Somewhat like how you’re speaking now?
**Dr. Sunny:** I don't hear it.
//[Subject’s tone is steady, unnervingly calm—comparable to one speaking to soothe a frightened child.]//
**Dr. Mojica:** Let's move to a different question. What happened when you first attempted to start SCP-7380?
**Dr. Sunny:** Well, as soon as I sat inside, I closed the door and immediately tried to start it. Nothing happened at first. I thought maybe I hadn’t pressed the clutch all the way—you know how these old cars are. The second time, I jiggled the key, made sure the car was in neutral, and pressed the clutch fully. When I did that, I felt something wet on my back—something foul.
**Dr. Mojica:** What was it?
**Dr. Sunny:** (silence) //[Subject tenses; visible tremor in hands.]//
**Dr. Mojica:** Dr.Sunny? Can you continue?
**Dr. Sunny:** It still makes my skin crawl. It looked like sewage water. It smelled terrible and quickly filled about half the inside of the car—up to my waist. I tried opening the doors—no luck. Tried rolling the windows down—same thing.
//[Subject’s breathing quickens; voice begins to rise.]//
I had nothing on me, so I tried pulling the keys out to break the glass—no luck either. I tried standing between the seats so at least I wouldn’t touch the water with my whole body. I tried kicking the glass—nothing. I screamed for help. People walked by. They looked right at me—like I was just... parked there. Like they were half-asleep. Nobody stopped. Nobody even slowed down.
**Dr. Mojica:** Let's pause for now.
//[Session terminated. Subject sedated and escorted to Site-24 psychiatric wing for observation.]//

**Addendum7380-B: Physical Characteristics**
[[>image https://japanesenostalgiccar.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/1976-Datsun-B210-02.jpg]]
The vehicle appears to be in mint condition. All components and operational systems have been inspected by Foundation automotive experts, who confirmed that all parts are original. The vehicle’s fluids show no signs of degradation or use. Its exterior displays no visible aging or paint deterioration, and the interior remains pristine, retaining a faint odor of formaldehyde reminiscent of a new car smell. The odometer reading shows a total distance of 5 kilometers.
The only notable differences in SCP-7380 are the absence of a visible VIN or license plate. There is no indication that these identifiers were removed or damaged; rather, the vehicle appears to have been manufactured without them. The sole manufacturer marking is located within the driver’s side door well, indicating production at the Tochigi Plant in Japan.
The ignition key (SCP-7380-1) is fused to a metal keychain that cannot be removed or cut. The keychain bears two inscriptions in Japanese kanji:
Side A: 「忍耐は勝利の鍵。失えば自分を失う。」 (“Patience is the key to victory. Lose it, and you lose yourself.”)
Side B: 「権現・護鬼」 (“Gongen-Goki”, roughly “Guardian Demon” or “Spirit of Endurance.”)

SCP-7380 was discovered by Junior Foundation Researcher, "Dr. Sunny" [IDENTITY REDACTED] while searching for a used vehicle for his son, who was preparing to attend college.
Preliminary findings suggest a connection between SCP-7380 and syncretic Shinto-Buddhist punishment rituals involving “patience trials” meant to test spiritual fortitude. Further research is ongoing.
