Wasn't my car! :)
I've never had one. Mine is old enough that it didn't have a visual
inspection.
A lot of people install the equipment for the test and then go home and
take it all off. The tests are a bit of a waste on the auto
enthusiasts... Kinda like gun laws on criminals... :) But for the
average person who doesn't know what to do when they encounter a loose
bolt with a wrench already in there hand, I guess they do keep the
original equipment installed. (You take the bolt off of course and
find out what all it holds together!)
