Drains a bit slower then having the drain plug open, but it allows him to finish his ice-cream.

Under most circumstances, I'd think that was a good idea, but I think that would stick down farther than the drain plug which is VERY low. The sump has what I assume is either protective for bumps or maybe just strengthening ring around the plug and is super low on the car. I think if one of those stuck down 4-6mm lower than that protective ring it would be dangerous. I think the ground clearance of my boxster is ~3.7". I wouldn't want to reduce that for something like an oil drain plug.
