I have a nice car now and it would be cool to find some nice roads to drive on, specifically i'd like either nice views and cruisy roads, or some windy corners so I can do some actual driving!
Obviously obeying all the road rules

The black spur is my favourite!
Yeah it is a good one. Better during the week though as weekends it's very busy with bikes, cars and police.
My favorite on my bike is St Andrews - Kinglake - Toolanghi - Healesville - Launching Place - Gembrook - Emerald.
If you want to go longer from Healesville - Marysville - Lake Mountain - Warburton.
Good route!
Ahh yeah, that's a good recommendation.
If you've got the time... go to Heathcote via Romsey and Lancfield. You go through an awesome windy hilly area. Lots of lovely scenery too
Doing the Great Alpine Road on Friday, that is meant to be really damn good. Otherwise I like Black Spur, but there's so much traffic, if you have a small car going along Reefton Spur and then turning onto Woods Point road is a super windy road with a good view.
Yarra Boulevard in Kew is short but sweet (heaps of cops though) but really is a fun road with great views of the city - especially at night.
Gembrook to Launching Place is good in a car as well.
When the snow clears and the road reopens, try a loop from Bright to Bright via Mt Hotham, Omeo then Falls Creek via Omeo Hwy.

That's an understatement if ever I saw one. One of the best places in the world. Omeo is a really nice place for a pitstop, and has super-cheap accomodation.
I did it last year on a trip up to Sydney the long way. It was late November, and the weather around the area was meant to be mostly sunny, high teens. Drive out there was good weather, get to the top of the mountain and it was a blizzard. 20m visibility, spent the whole time crawling along at walking pace and didn't get to see any of the amazing views. Back down the other side of the mountains the weather was sunny and warm again.
When you say blizzard, do you mean it was snowing? I don't remember any serious snow storms last November?
Yeah probably just snowing, but from my perspective it was windy with heavy snow and down to 20m visibility. So definitely felt like a blizzard.

When i had my last car i loved black spur, great ocean road and yarra bend. Black spur and great ocean on a weekday mid morning if possible and yarra bend before 10pm that way you'll hopefully avoid traffic and hoons (yarra bend)
Head up to Mount Dandenong this weekend, there’s a vintage car show in the main street of Monbulk this Sunday I think
Lysterfield road between Wellington rd and glenfern rd is a beauty
Go to Omeo. Any route you fancy. All good.
Chap laps.
Great ocean road is probably the best.
