Silly bit

This is going back a little ways, over 10 years. But I had a car, I think it was a Toyota Camry if that's relevant for this story. But there's this weird thing that only when I pulled into my driveway I would hear a knocking noise in the head panel. The roof above my head, in there. And it drove me nuts. At first I thought I was going crazy, but what it was is we lived on a hill and so there was a little bit of an incline to pull into our driveway and it was only if I was turning in from one direction, it would cause the car to rotate a little bit side to side and something in the hood... not the hood, the head of the car to knock. So I'm like, "Whatever. Clearly, I can't fix that," right? If there's something loose in there it's not affecting the drivability of the car and it only happens this one time when I pull into my driveway.
