The Boxster drains oil VERY fast, much faster than any of the 'take it to the recycle center' type of pans can handle... it will inevitably overflow as the oil comes out faster than it can go in."

Oh, it definitely was the dropped drain plug, though I'll be the first to admit what you're using is, in retrospect, a better way to go. I'm now, with reasonably good success, using the same catch pan that I used with such disastrous results a few years ago. Took my drill and 1/2" bit and made half a dozen additional holes in the top. Works pretty well now, especially since I never drop the drain plug anymore.
It does splash a bit---newspaper catches that little bit pretty well.
