This gives me the chance to ask a question. Losing the front and lowsiding is often referred to as the front "tucking". Why tuck? It seems so odd to me. "Tuck" suggests gathering closer or drawing in, or beneath, or securing. Strange to use "Tuck" to describe when the front is about as far from that as possible..........is that the point? Or maybe just one of those sayings that, despite not really making sense, has been around so long everyone knows what you mean anyway. Like "I could care less" in America.
