1. A vehicle floor drain apparatus, comprising:

  • an elongate hollow body terminating at an open distal end and an open proximate end and including a threaded cylindrical bore that defines an axial direction;

    a flange extending circumferentially around the open proximate end, at least one resilient member extending circumferentially around and outwardly from the body adjacent the body distal end, wherein each at least one resilient member is configured to frictionally engage a vehicle floor when the body is inserted within an aperture in the vehicle floor, such that the flange is retained in compressive contact with the vehicle floor adjacent the aperture; and

    a drain plug including a head and a threaded shank connected to the head, wherein the threaded shank is configured to threadingly engage the threaded cylindrical bore for moving the head of the drain plug along the axial direction toward and away from the hollow body proximate end when the drain plug is rotated about the axial direction in respective opposite directions.
