Yes, had the same problem. Now I have a piece of hardware cloth (1/2" square opening screen) over the drain hole when I do an oil change. Don't have to panic and fish out the drain plug from the hot oil to prevent an Exxon Valdiz moment!

Please oh please remember the jack stand(s) if you do it this way. Flattened Boxster enthusiasts are far less fun.
