Not mentioned; the thousands of slaves and other non-citizens making the military elite's existence possible, who were violently and visciously suppressed to make sure that the tiny population of spartiates wasn't overthrown.

Well yeah, if 90% of your population is slaves (helots), you will have a small population of citizens (Spartiates). Also their legacy in warfare was somewhat exaggerated, even at the time -- Sparta only won about half of the battles it took part in, and lost every time to Macedon.

No, Ford Pinto is an accurate comparison.
Fuel storage in/just behind the bumper, in what is likely structurally insufficient storage in case of impact. Fires are likely in case of an accident.
And hydrogen fires are horrible. Hydrogen burns with a very pale flame, so they are very hard to spot.
