Yea I celebrate every 5,000 miles by giving the car an oil change, usually new tires for the 50,000 mile mark appropriate 'presents' at other mile points
I celebrate making the last car payment, receiving the title, and soon to celebrate passing 100,000 miles.
Every car I've purchased (that has had a cassette / CD player) upon first drive (on highway) I play Carl Otto Nicolai's Merry Wives of Windsor Overture (and let the cars pile up behind me, if they wish) and then play Flatt and Scruggs, Foggy Mountain Breakdown (and end up with a speeding ticket- ) - its the 'audio' equivalent of putting the car through its figurative paces.
Upon various mileage milestones I do the following:
At any five digit all the same odometer reading (11,111; 22,222 etc...) I let out a big whoop like I won a jackpot lottery, at each 10,000 I let out a hoo-ra, and for the few cars I've had at the 100,000 mile mark I celebrate with an animated singing of music medley, a la, Chris Farley and David Spade
Then, the last songs before I sell, or trade in, I listen to Liszt's Mephisto Waltz followed by George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Bad To The Bone, in honor of Stephen King's Christine
