Do you do anything special
Yup. When it hits 200K miles, I sell it.

Do you celebrate mileage milestones for your cars?

I usually hit the horn once when it hit 100K miles, and every 25K thereafter. At 200K miles my wife broke out the camera and took a picture of the odometer.

My friend's father took a pic when his Econoline's odometer reset...the pic shows 399999.9 miles. (It resets back to 300,000 instead of going to 400K.) It did it twice, but I don't think he got a pic the second time. (Yes, the van DOES have 500,000+ miles.)
When my first 1988 528e passed 300 K miles I splurged and bought it a new key cut from the VIN with a flash light in it. I got another 30 K of mostly trouble free driving before I retired it.
No. But i will celebrate internally when the Grand Caravan hits the 200k mark. Currently, it has 181k. At about 80k, i wanted to trade it. It is 9 years old now. With the mileage i am doing now, it will be 13 yrs old if it makes it to 200k. Vehicle was purchased new. Now, if it hits 300k, party time! Heck, i'll even do a cake at 250k!

I take pictures of interesting milestones. 100K, 111111, 150k, 200k, etc.
I usually sell between 200k and 250k if everything is still in good condition and no mechanical issues. If it starts developing issues earlier I will sell it sooner.

I also take pics of mileage milestones, here are a bunch from my old 98 Corvette:
This thread has me keeping an eye on my odo because 123456 is coming up!
Oh good, I'm not the only Odometer Weirdo ... taken on Friday, 1993 Honda Accord 2dr Coupe SE
Sunrise, 123456
I just noticed that Kitacam was also celebrating it's 2nd year anniversary with me that 123456 day.
I took a pic of the Park Avenue on Thanksgiving Day 2012, when it achieved 100,000 miles. Now, of course, I can't find the pic.
The W126 Mercedes never got to 200K miles, as it was totalled about 1500 miles before that. And I bought it at 135K, so I never saw the 100K mark. I did go to the dealer and get the high mileage badge the Merc qualified for, the 250,000 km mark (155K miles), and fastened it on the grille.
So I guess I would celebrate or mark a mileage milestone with my car, if said milestone happens while I own the car.

I mourn mileage milestones, not celebrate them.
When you get older, turning the calender and even the ticking of a clock have new meaning.
Happy 100k miles today for my Taurus.
A wash/wax and ATF change will be part of the festivities.
