This references the common act of “shotgunning” a can of beer, which consists of piercing the base of a beer can with a sharp object such as a key, popping the top, and then using the resulting gravity and air flow into the can to quickly imbibe its contents. The poster is attempting to illustrate his wealth by suggesting that he must borrow the keys of a non-Greek student in order to perform this act, because the ignition device for his own car is electronic and does not have a physical key (this “push-start” method is most common on newer, expensive luxury cars such as BMW’s and Mercedes-Benz). However, the poster’s joke has failed in its attempt at humor because most cars with this technology also contain a retractable key as a backup in case the radio frequency emitter fails and the driver needs to unlock and/or start his vehicle manually. The fact that he was unaware of this suggests he does not in fact actually own a vehicle with this feature. Additionally, even if the poster did not have car keys, it is unlikely that the poster would be without some other key with which to shotgun a beer, since metal keys remain the standard device by which people unlock doors to their residence, office, and other locations they frequent that have restricted access. The poster’s joke backfired because in his haste to humorously illustrate his wealth, he failed to consider the obvious logistical problems with his claim.
